Since the establishment of the Schengen area, the European Union's internal security project has led to the securitization of immigration. This thesis investigates how this internal security framework has impacted political discourse on asylum immigration in the Netherlands while devoting particular attention to the broader consequences of the securitization of immigration for asylum seekers' human rights. By applying the theory of securitization and analyzing debates, policy documents, and the transposition of European Union directives into Dutch legislation, this thesis offers a comprehensive analysis of securitizing and desecuritizing moves within Dutch political discourse.

Abstract

Since the establishment of the Schengen area, the European Union's internal security project has led to the securitization of immigration. This thesis investigates how this internal security framework has impacted political discourse on asylum immigration in the Netherlands while devoting particular attention to the broader consequences of the securitization of immigration for asylum seekers' human rights. By applying the theory of securitization and analyzing debates, policy documents, and the transposition of European Union directives into Dutch legislation, this thesis offers a comprehensive analysis of securitizing and desecuritizing moves within Dutch political discourse. It reveals how securitizing actors and rival voices incorporate the European Union into their discourses.
