Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify the discourses of the political and social stakeholders that integrate the political filed, about the migratory policy. To address this aim the study inquires in the elements that compose the discourse, rather than in the position of the different actors in the field. The work is based on the analysis of 55 interviews with government authorities, parliamentarians, think tanks, and social leaders linked to migrant communities. The discourses analysis was organized in the two dimensions of the migration policy, the first referring to the conditions for the admissibility of migrants and the second to the conditionality associated with the access to rights once migrants have been admitted. It concludes with a typology of four discursive models on the he conception of the migration policy in each of these axes.
