“…In this respect, a discourse of cosmopolitanism seemingly appreciative of open borders and multiculturalism, present in The Guardian and to a lesser extent in The Times, did not advance social justice but instead legitimated lower pay for migrants. While a recent analysis juxtaposed communitarian to cosmopolitan framing of migration by U.K. newspapers as more progressive (Balabanova & Balch, 2010), we found cosmopolitanism of capitalist and cosmetic variety (Nederveen Pieterse, 2006). Poles who had always considered themselves European and who have been migrating to Western Europe since the collapse of the communist bloc, were ethnicized by cosmopolitan and national threat discourses alike as second class E.U.…”

2004 enlargement extended the freedom of movement of workers and persons to ten states and thus rescaled the state's power to regulate citizenship and movement. We examined how this important shift in scalar relations has been registered by discourses about migrants. To this end, we analyzed how the U.K. and the E.U. were scaled in the representations of post-E.U. accession Polish migrants in U.K. newspapers. Representations reconstructed the national scale, in this case Britain, through moralizing and ambivalent immigration discourses. However, we also found that the newspapers constructed the E.U. scale in ways that advanced open market values and erased the progressive potential of the free movement for workers. The newspapers rearticulated the changing relations of scale between the state and the E.U. in ways that legitimized differential levels of citizenship and precarious positions for both migrant and domestic workers.

“…The scapegoating of Eastern Europeans as 'benefits scroungers' making unfair use of the welfare state is a common narrative in public and political discourses about migration in the UK more generally (Balabanova and Balch, 2010;Wilkinson, 2014).…”

The normative migration rights literature has engaged with the situated experience of migration to a very limited extent, with particularly little attention paid to non-migrants living in receiving localities. This article argues that exploring the non-elite narratives of non-migrants provides valuable insights for normative theorising about migration rights. The discussion is illustrated with a description of research undertaken within rural migration-receiving communities in England, which shows how the narratives of non-migrants shape the experience of migration at a micro-level. This article discusses the implications of this research for normative theory in order to demonstrate the value of this methodological approach.

“…The typology of arguments that we follow in the articles we analyze draws on the work of Balabanova and Balch (2010), who propose a normative approach to media debates on migration. The analysts argue that a discussion of frames employed by the media must reveal the underlying ethical arguments that can justify various positions.…”

In this paper we investigate how the model of deliberation proposed by Isabela and Norman Fairclough can be used for a better clarification and understanding of the framing processes in media -especially in opinion articles. We thus aim at integrating theoretical contributions from critical discourse analysis and argumentation theory with standard approaches to framing, originating in media studies. We emphasize how a rhetorical approach to framing can provide analytical insights into framing processes and complement the typical quantitative approaches with qualitative analysis based on textual reconstruction. Starting from an issue-specific approach to framing, we discuss a particular case of framing of intra-EU migration, analyzing four opinion articles selected from a larger corpus of Romanian, British and French media. We highlight, along our analysis, various methodological options and analytical difficulties inherent to such an approach.
