Seeking protection at the gates of Europe: refugees, labeling and dissuasion practices at the southern Spanish borders

Abstract

[ES] A partir de un análisis que subraya las prácticas de contención del acceso de los refugiados desde el denominado paradigma disuasorio, este artículo usa la literatura del etiquetaje para investigar la gestión del refugio en la frontera sur española a lo largo de las últimas tres décadas. Además de detenernos en algunos elementos del marco regulatorio del refugio en España y su evolución, el análisis presentado se basa en 34 entrevistas en profundidad semiestructuradas realizadas entre 2016 y 2019 en Madrid, Cádiz, Ceuta y Melilla a diferentes actores públicos y miembros de organizaciones sociales, nacionales e internacionales, implicados en la gestión del refugio en España. Las conclusiones del análisis indican que el etiquetado de la inmigración africana como una inmigración exclusivamente laboral ha moldeado la gestión política del refugio en la frontera sur española a través de prácticas que han impedido, limitado y disuadido el acceso de potenciales solicitantes de asilo al sistema español de protección internacional. Por ello la gestión del refugio ha quedado ampliamente supeditada al control migratorio.

[EN] Based on an analysis on the practices that have become generalized over the past few decades to limit refugees from entering the territory through what has been dominated the dissuasion paradigm, this article uses the literature on labeling to research how asylum has been managed at Spain’s southern border over the past three decades. The analysis is based in 34 in-depth interviews conducted between 2016 and 2019 in Madrid, Cádiz, Ceuta and Melilla to members of different public institutions and social organizations involved in the implementation of refugee policies at the Southern Spanish border. The “labeling” of African immigrants as labor migrants (or as “bogus” asylum seekers) has shaped the refugee policies at this border resulting in practices of contention and dissuasion of the flows and restrictions in the access to the Spanish protection system under the priority of the logic of control.
