ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the influence of European migration externalisation policies on civil society initiatives promoting migrants’ rights in Morocco. By looking at the nature of NGOs’ interventions that aim to benefit migrants’ social and economic rights, the paper attempts to uncover the contradictions inherent in the implementation of so-called rights-based approaches to migration management in a context marked by inequality, uneven social development and authoritarian rule. The Moroccan example shows how the EU’s efforts have promoted a juridical, administrative and discursively justifiable policy framework in Morocco, in which NGOs could successfully deliver humanitarian aid and advocate for vulnerable migrants’ rights to life. At the same time, however, the underlying rationale of distinguishing between the rights of legal and irregular migrants hampers NGOs in promoting a more inclusive approach concerning migrants as target populations of social development policies in the country. This is compounded by a national political context marked by limited opportunities for civil society participation in policy-making processes. By describing the dilemmas created through these tensions, this paper aims to draw attention to overlooked connections between development policies and externalisation measures in the Global South.

摘要

本文讨论了欧洲移民外部化政策对促进摩洛哥移民权利的民间社会倡议的影响。通过研究非政府组织旨在使移民的社会和经济权利受益的干预措施的性质，本文试图揭示在不平等、不平衡的背景下实施所谓基于权利的移民管理方法所固有的矛盾。社会发展和专制统治。摩洛哥的例子表明，欧盟的努力如何在摩洛哥促进了司法、行政和话语上合理的政策框架，非政府组织可以在该框架中成功地提供人道主义援助并倡导弱势移民的生命权。然而与此同时，区分合法移民和非正常移民权利的基本原理阻碍了非政府组织推动采取更具包容性的方法，将移民作为国家社会发展政策的目标人群。以公民社会参与决策过程的机会有限为特征的国家政治背景使情况更加复杂。通过描述这些紧张局势造成的困境，本文旨在引起人们对全球南方发展政策与外部化措施之间被忽视的联系的关注。以公民社会参与决策过程的机会有限为特征的国家政治背景使情况更加复杂。通过描述这些紧张局势造成的困境，本文旨在引起人们对全球南方发展政策与外部化措施之间被忽视的联系的关注。以公民社会参与决策过程的机会有限为特征的国家政治背景使情况更加复杂。通过描述这些紧张局势造成的困境，本文旨在引起人们对全球南方发展政策与外部化措施之间被忽视的联系的关注。
