The Emigration Conundrum: EU Countries of Origin of Migrants Between Integration and Demarcation
分析了2000-2022年波兰、葡萄牙和罗马尼亚的议会辩论和政党宣言，探讨移民问题在政治话语中如何被讨论、由谁讨论及为何讨论，发现左右翼政党均关注移民的社会影响，但中欧和南欧的政党框架存在差异。
Abstract Based on an analysis of parliamentary debates and party manifestos from 2000 to 2022 in three EU countries of emigration, this article responds to the following question: How emigration is discussed in the political discourse, by whom and why? The research on Poland, Portugal and Romania reveals that parties of the left and right address the societal impacts of emigration whilst simultaneously acknowledging the appreciation of citizens of EU freedoms. Tackling this conundrum, parties call for domestic demarcation for an issue that is partially European. They advocate for state intervention to improve working and living conditions and express concern for the sustainability of the national community responding to demographic changes. The variation amongst the case countries is evident in the dominance of a rightist framing in Central and Eastern Europe, emphasizing state intervention and concerns for the nation, and a leftist framing in Southern Europe, advocating solely for state intervention into the economy. Differently structured party systems and strength of cleavages explain this variation.
