Securitization of migration

Mojca Pajnik in the interview for the project New Neighbours:

“Television performed a “collaborative role” in staging the state of emergency, presenting refugees as a threat to security of Slovenian people and the (nation)state. The discoursive frames of militarization and securitization were the most dominant, coupled at times with the frame of conditioned humanitarianism, suggesting that we need to feed the refugees, and then get them out of the country. Voices of the alternative publics such as no border movements, volunteers, NGOs, not to mention migrants themselves, were mostly absent.”
