Abstract

Libya is a significant transit country for irregular migration to Europe and is therefore the site of much effort by external policy makers, notably the European Union. External actors have been unable to formalize workable agreements with Libyan authorities to address or stop onward migration to Europe. Instead, they have been forced to develop arrangements with Libya’s neighboring countries to work around this impasse. This article examines the rhetoric behind efforts by individual European countries and the European Union to implement externally produced migration policies. From crisis narratives to invoking a humanitarian imperative to “save lives,” it is argued that these tropes justify various, at times competing, agendas. This results in almost no tangible improvement to the situation of irregular migrants or the capacity of authorities to deal with irregular migration, with one exception being that of the Libyan coast guard.

管理多重利益
利比亚是向欧洲非正常移民的重要过境国,因此是外部政策制定者,特别是欧盟作出大量努力的地方。外部行为者一直无法与利比亚当局正式达成可行的协议,以解决或阻止继续向欧洲移民的问题。相反,他们被迫与利比亚邻国达成协议,以解决这一僵局。本文考察了个别欧洲国家和欧盟实施外部产生的移民政策背后的修辞。从危机叙事到援引“拯救生命”的人道主义必要性,作者认为这些比喻为各种各样的、有时是相互竞争的议程辩护。这导致非正规移徙者的情况或当局处理非正规移徙者的能力几乎没有明显改善,只有利比亚海岸警卫队例外。
