Human Rights Discourse on Migration – the Case of Slovakia
Human rights discourse is one of the discourses relevant in the political discursive
struggle over the migration and migration policies in particular nation states
or in the European Union. Traditionally, in Western European immigration countries,
this discourse has been represented by leftist political parties (socialist or social
democratic) and in a more radical way by the social movements and human rights
NGO’s. In Slovakia, human rights discourse on migration has never been significantly
represented by relevant political parties, on the contrary, migration has been
always a topic marked by considerable and unusual political consensus. Human right
discourse on migration is a marginal view, represented mainly by few non-governmental
organizations. Using the method of Critical discourse analysis, the paper tries
to analyse the strategies of discursive struggle over the migration, and relevant social
representations being used
