9/11 事件强化了移民和移民的话语安全化 主要移民国家的一体化政治和政策 所谓的移民与安全关系。为了探讨这一论点, 分析涉及三个命题。首先,冷战的结束为关注分散的和有影响的问题开辟了政治空间。 难以把握的安全威胁并非来自主权国家,而是来自 非国家行为者,涉及犯罪、毒品、移民等问题。国际移民已成为非特定恐惧的便捷参考点。其次,加强边境管制和更严格的移民内部监控等安全化政策会产生意想不到的效果。政策问题的证券化让选民对政府实际上能够有效地解决问题产生了更高的期望 控制跨国流动。第三,9/11 事件给移民融入带来了模糊的后果。显然,至少在短期内,针对中东移民的骚扰程度大幅增加。然而,危机局势甚至可能导致人们更多地陷入各个国家移民州的政治之中。对文化多元化的总体态度和政策可能不会受到 9/11 的重大影响。 总体而言,对移民与安全关系的探索是更广泛研究的一部分 跨国化的良性循环和恶性循环中,日益重要的 世界和国家政治中的非国家行为者。
9/11 has reinforced the discursive securitization of migration and integration politics and policies in major immigration countries, the so-called migration-security nexus. To explore this argument, the analysis deals with three propositions. First, the end of the Cold War has opened political space for focusing on diffuse and hard-to-grasp security threats that do not emanate from sovereign states but from non-state actors, involving issues such as crime, drugs, migration. International migration has served as a convenient reference point for unspecific fears. Second, securitizing policies such as stepped-up border controls and stricter internal surveillance of immigrants produces unintended effects. Securitizing policy issues creates higher expectations among voters that governments are actually able to effectively control transnational movements. Third, 9/11 entails ambiguous consequences for immigrant integration. Clearly, the levels of harassment against immigrants from the Middle East increased considerably, at least on the short term. Yet the crisis situation may even lead to an increased immersion into the politics of the respective national immigration states. General attitudes and policies towards cultural pluralism will probably not be significantly affected by 9/11. Overall, the exploration of the migration-security nexus is part of broader studies into the virtuous and vicious cycles of transnationalization, the growing importance of non-state actors in world and national politics.
