Éva Eszter SzabóSchool of English and American StudiesDepartment of American Studies Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest Fence Walls: From the Iron Curtain to the US and Hungarian Border Barriers and the Emergence of Global Walls Abstract: This paper considers the resurgence of the Iron Curtain metaphor and its appropriateness in relation to the current border barriers in the US and the EU. It addresses the impact of the Iron Curtain both on Eastern Europe and on Western Europe, and it explores the legacy of this nearly hermetically sealed off borderland in the different border security and migration control approaches within the EU in the current era of emerging global walls. In my view, while the Iron Curtain metaphor is mistakenly applied to the current border barriers in the US and the EU alike, its legacy does contribute to the marked difference between Eastern and Western European attitudes and policies to the massive influx of migrants. From the Iron Curtain to the Hungarian border fence, the fence walls of the spatially identical border sections reflect not only the changing concepts of walls, but also the distinct historical experiences with migration. The current border barriers in Hungary and the EU, however, draw on the US–Mexican border barrier that aims to stop unauthorized entry while keeping the gates open in both directions for legal cross-border movement in contrast with the prison walls of the Iron Curtain.  Keywords: US-Mexican border barrier, Hungarian border fence, unauthorized migration, Eastern Europe, Cold War, Iron Curtain, border walls

As a process of broadening the security category, securitisation is used to draw attention to urgent and existential threats that cannot be resolved through ordinary political decisions. It presupposes the authorisation of extraordinary measures as long as they are accepted by the “audience” (the elite or society as a whole). Due to the growing importance of these processes, more and more objections and doubts have been formulated towards the theory of securitisation regarding, inter alia, the morality of these processes, including the intentions of securitising actors (just or unjust securitisation). This article presents case studies on the Poland’s migration policy, in which securitisation movements reinforced social mobilisation by referring to the category of security. The methodological framework of the securitisation theory and the just securitisation theory have been implemented. The presented results indicate that in the process of extending the security category, it is important to study the intentions of securitising actors and the existential dimension of the reported threats due to the power of influence and the effects of securitisation measures.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el Régimen de Regularización Migratoria para ciudadanos senegaleses realizado en el año 2013 en el contexto de la nueva ley migratoria argentina, ley enmarcada en la perspectiva de la gobernabilidad migratoria. Las ideas que exponemos son resultados preliminares de una investigación en curso enfocada en analizar el impacto que tuvo el programa regulatorio en el colectivo de migrantes senegaleses. El caso senegalés vuelve a mostrar las limitaciones de la ley de migraciones, más allá de sus avances en materia de derechos para los migrantes. La inmigración persiste concebida como problema a partir de la irregularidad, donde los migrantes sólo pueden ser aceptados cuando su presencia lo amerita o cuando demuestran medios de vida “lícitos y útiles”. Y si bien para la ley la migración es un derecho, éste es ejercido de manera discrecional hacia ciertos grupos, por ejemplo, a través de la exigencia de visados.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the regime of migratory regularization for Senegalese ci-tizens in the year 2013 in the context of the new Argentine immigration law. The ideas that we present are preliminary results of an ongoing study focused on analyzing the impact that the regulatory program had on the collective of Senegalese migrants. The Senegalese case shows the limitations of migration law, beyond advancement of rights for migrants. Immigration continues to be conceived as a problem of irregularity, migrants can only be accepted when something warrants their presence or when they show that their lives are “lawful and useful”. And while migration is a right, it is exercised in a discretionary way towards certain groups, for example, through the requirement of visas.
