description | Objectives
Migration emerged as a security issue in the context of the geopolitical dislocation shaped by the end of the Cold War and by social and political shifts associated with globalization processes. As such, the migration-security nexus tends to present the understanding of migration and migrants as a threat to the destination or transit countries. However, the increasing number of people on the move requires a change in the approach. The article aims to propose a wider and more sustainable approach to the migration-security nexus based on the desecuritization of migration processes and their participants. Using comparative analysis and discourse analysis, points to three levels of the migration-security nexus, taking into account the multiple perspectives of migration processes and their practical implications.
Material and methods
Using comparative analysis and discourse analysis, points to three levels of the migration-security nexus, taking into account the multiple perspectives of migration processes and their practical implications.
Results
The approach proposes a more balanced and diverse understanding and research migration in the context of security, which allows for an in-depth and comprehensive study of the issue. This approach takes into account three groups of actors – countries of origin, countries of destination and people on the move themselves. Secondly, it requires examining migration both as a threat or challenge, but also as a potential source of security. Thirdly, the proposed approach combines the logic of strategic security and human security.
Conclusions
As deterring migration, especially illegal ones, is ineffective, new strategies for better understanding the issue on theoretical and practical levels are needed. |
