Abstract

The Spanish asylum system and refugee reception program demonstrate persistent problems involving initial access to asylum and the processing of applications; access to assistance from the reception system; and the process of integration of asylum seekers, which is characterized by social segregation. This article analyzes these issues and seeks to explain them by looking beyond the immediate circumstances of the substantial increase in applications, mainly from Latin Americans, that has taken place in Spain since 2015. The deficiencies of the asylum system are explained in terms of the restrictive refugee paradigm employed by Spain and the European Union as a whole, as well as the development of a restricted, isolated reception model focused more on the initial assistance process than on social integration. Our analysis is based on two recent studies and provides empirical evidence in an area of study that has been scarcely addressed in Spain.El sistema de asilo español y su programa de acogida presentan problemas persistentes relacionados con el acceso al asilo y la tramitación de las solicitudes, el acceso y la intervención del sistema de acogida, y los procesos de integración de los solicitantes, marcados por la segregación social. El artículo analiza dichos problemas, y trata de explicarlos yendo más allá de la coyuntura del fuerte crecimiento de las solicitudes ocurrido en España desde el año 2015, protagonizado principalmente por solicitantes latinoamericanos. Se apunta, así, que los déficits del asilo se explican por la existencia de un paradigma restrictivo del refugio en España y en la UE, y el desarrollo de un modelo de acogida restringido, aislado y centrado en el proceso de atención inicial más que en la integración. El análisis se apoya en dos investigaciones realizadas recientemente, aportando evidencia empírica a un área de estudio poco estudiada en España.
