ABSTRACT

In the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, the EU discourse on migration has acquired a humanitarian dimension that deserves investigation. The European Commission in particular has provided a discursive conceptualisation of the European human and humane approach to migration, promoting a change in the EU migration frame. Qualitative discourse analysis suggests that the European Commission’s programmatic discourse is not just a coordinative discourse among policy actors, it rather aims to shape the preferences of EU policy-makers emphasising strategic ideas and principles enshrined in EU Treaties. The Covid-19 crisis could thus be a window of opportunity for the European Union to embark on a new migration governance framed within a humane approach.

摘要

在Covid-19危机中，欧盟关于移民的论述已获得了值得研究的人道主义层面。尤其是欧洲委员会对欧洲人性化和人性化的移民方法提供了一种具有争议性的概念，从而促进了欧盟移民框架的变化。定性话语分析表明，欧盟委员会的程序性话语不仅是政策参与者之间的协调性话语，它还旨在塑造强调欧盟条约中所载战略思想和原则的欧盟决策者的偏好。因此，Covid-19危机可能是欧洲联盟以人道方法开展新的移徙治理的机会之窗。
