Abstract

This study explores the legitimation strategies employed in European political discourse on EU’s migration cooperation with Turkey. More specifically, this paper elucidates factors that shape argumentation in European parliamentary debates on 18 March 2016 EU-Turkey Statement, also known as the EU-Turkey Refugee Deal. Adopting an interdisciplinary research methodology rooted in Critical Discourse Analysis and using analytical tools of Cognitive Linguistics, this study aims to provide empirical insights into the legitimation of migration and asylum policies. This study connects to the growing body of literature on discursive legitimation in an attempt to extend the existing set of categories of legitimation proposed in earlier studies.

Özet

Bu makale Avrupa Birliği’nin Türkiye’yle düzensiz göç alanında sürdürdüğü iş birliği girişimlerinin Avrupa siyasal söyleminde meşru kılınmasında rol oynayan söylemsel stratejileri incelemektedir. Makalede AB-Türkiye Mülteci Anlaşması olarak da bilinen 18 Mart 2016 tarihli sözleşmeye ilişkin Avrupa Parlamentosu’nda yürütülen tartışmalar analiz edilmektedir. Çalışmada, kuramsal olarak ‘Eleştirel Söylem Analizi’ne bina edilmiş ve Bilişsel Dilbilimin analiz araçlarını da kullanan disiplinlerarası bir araştırma yöntemi kullanılmaktadır. Makalenin nihai amacı AB’nin göç ve iltica politikalarına meşruiyet kazandırılmasında önemli rol oynayan söylemsel araç ve stratejilere ışık tutmaktır. Makale, Eleştirel Söylem Analizi yazınında giderek daha fazla yer tutan söylemsel meşruiyet araştırmalarına eklemlenerek göç ve mülteci politikaları örneğinde yeni bulgular sunmaktadır.
