This article contributes to the debates on the securitization of asylum and migration in Europe by focussing on the securitization of asylum-seekers through their association with terrorism during the ‘refugee crisis’, which coincided with a ‘terrorism crisis’, in 2015–2016. Theoretically, it argues that, whilst the intrinsic characteristics of some issues mean that they are unlikely to be directly securitized, they may be indirectly securitized through their association with another issue that has come to be widely accepted as a security threat, such as terrorism or a pandemic. Empirically, the article shows how asylum-seekers, who had not been securitized in Europe in the aftermath of 9/11, became socially constructed as a security threat indirectly through their association with terrorism in 2015–2016. This association mainly took place through the deployment of specific practices. Recent events suggest that the securitization of asylum-seekers in the EU has had enduring effects.

本文通过关注在 2015 年至 2016 年与“恐怖主义危机”同时发生的“难民危机”期间寻求庇护者与恐怖主义的关联而对欧洲庇护和移民安全化的辩论做出了贡献。从理论上讲，它认为，虽然某些问题的内在特征意味着它们不太可能被直接证券化，但它们可能通过与另一个已被广泛接受为安全威胁的问题（例如恐怖主义或大流行。从经验上看，这篇文章展示了在 9/11 事件之后没有在欧洲安全化的寻求庇护者如何在 2015 年至 2016 年间通过与恐怖主义的联系在社会上间接地成为一种安全威胁。这种关联主要是通过部署特定实践而发生的。最近的事件表明，欧盟寻求庇护者的证券化已经产生了持久的影响。
