Conflicting Conceptualisations of Europeanisation: POLAND Country Report

Justyna Szalanska | University of Warsaw

This report aims to present the results of research on migration discourse and its effect on Europeanisation in Poland. The main objective of the research was to examine how political elite discourse on increasing external migration to the EU is framed in media and deliberated among stakeholders with regard to the course of Europeanisation. The research was based on a three-step analytical process: analysis of political speeches, analysis of the media, and analysis of stakeholder’s opinions.

Ivan Josipovic, Ursula Reeger | Austrian Academy of Sciences (OEAW)

This working paper provides preliminary insights into public debates over Europeanisation and migration in Austria between 2011 and 2019. Based on a qualitative political claims analysis of 15 political speeches, 21 newspaper articles and nine stakeholder interviews, it provides an overview on how various actors problematized the EU, its Member States, and their policymaking and political targets in the realm of migration and asylum. Early research results show a widely shared discontent over the EU’s asylum system.

Conflicting Conceptualisations of Europeanisation: GERMANY Country Report

Alexander K. Nagel | Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

This report explores how recent processes of immigration have changed discourses about “Europe” in Germany. It aims at a) capturing conflicting Europeanisation in the German context and to aid theory-construction by adding to a comparative picture, b) developing a perspective on the role of media in domestic audience-making in this context and c) understanding how the above impacts on different professional audiences, including the stakeholders assembled within the RESPOND project.
