This ‘Horizontal Substitute Impact Assessment of the European Commission’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum’ was requested by the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE). The impact assessment focuses on the main proposed changes implied by the European Commission’s New Pact, with a particular focus on the following four proposals: 1) Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (RAMM); 2) Crisis and Force Majeure Regulation; 3) Amended Asylum Procedure Regulation (APR); and 4) Screening Regulation. The horizontal substitute impact assessment critically assesses the ‘system’ and underlying logic of the proposed New Pact with the aim to analyse how the four Commission proposals would work and interact in practice. The impact assessment also assesses whether and to what extent the proposed New Pact addresses the identified shortcomings and implementational problems of the current EU asylum and migration law and policy. Moreover, the impact assessment identifies and assesses the expected impacts on fundamental rights, as well as economic, social and territorial impacts of the proposed New Pact

Este trabajo pretende analizar críticamente el sistema de acogida de los solicitantes de asilo en Italia como dispositivo de “inclusión diferencial” de los migrantes en los confines meridionales de Europa. Para defender este argumento, en primer lugar, analizaremos la evolución y las principales características de ese sistema, además de sus transformaciones más recientes a partir del 2011. En segundo lugar, observaremos que los tres segmentos principales del sistema de acogida pueden hallarse en una escala que va desde la mayor exclusión a la mayor inclusión. En tercer y último lugar, observaremos que también las “mejores prácticas” de acogida presentan un carácter ambivalente que produce una continua tensión entre los dos polos de la acogida y de la integración. This article aims to critically analyze the reception system for asylum seekers in Italy as a device for “differential inclusion” of migrants on the southern edge of Europe. To defend this argument, first, we will analyze the evolution and the main characteristics of this system, as well as its most recent transformations from 2011. Secondly, we will observe that the three main segments of the reception system can be found on a scale that goes from the greatest exclusion to the greatest inclusion. In third and last place, we will observe that the reception “best practices” also present an ambivalent character, producing a continuous tension between the two poles of reception and integration.

controlli di frontiera e pratiche di regolazione dei flussi migratori

Spurred by the huge changes affecting modern border regime, political theory and contemporary social sciences have begun to think borders beyond our classic geopolitical imagery by illustrating their complex nature of biopolitical “dispositifs” called for the production of subjectivity, the management of mobility and the government of populations. Despite their common foucauldian theoretical matrix, there were profound differences in the type of diagnosis proposed to analyze border control practices, so that the literature seems to oscillate between two different readings of the biopolitical performance played by borders. This paper aims at reconstructing the debate on migration securitization by critically discussing the different theoretical perspectives on the biopolitical function played by borders that can be found in the existing literature. Once completed this preliminary attempt at conceptual clarification, the paper’s final section concludes with a description of the role played by borders as security “dispositifs” that represents an attempt at a synthesis of the different theoretical perspectives critically discussed in the previous sections., Estimulado por los enormes cambios que afectan al régimen fronterizo moderno, la teoría política y las ciencias sociales contemporáneas han empezado a pensar las fronteras más allá de nuestro imaginario geopolítico clásico, ilustrando su compleja naturaleza de dispositivos biopolíticos llamados a la producción de subjetividad, de la gestión de la movilidad y el gobierno de las poblaciones. A pesar de su común matriz teórica foucaultiana, había profundas diferencias en el tipo de diagnóstico propuesto para analizar las prácticas de control de fronteras, por lo que la literatura parece oscilar entre dos lecturas diferentes del papel biopolítico desempeñado por las fronteras. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo reconstruir el debate sobre la securitización de la migración discutiendo críticamente las diferentes perspectivas teóricas sobre la función biopolítica desempeñada por las fronteras que se pueden encontrar en la literatura existente. Una vez completado este primer intento de clarificación conceptual, la última sección del artículo concluye con una descripción de la función desempeñada por las fronteras como "dispositifs" securitarios que representa un intento por efectuar una síntesis de las diferentes perspectivas teóricas críticamente examinadas en las secciones anteriores.
