Abstract | Resumo
This reflection article examines the narratives about migration (re)produced by the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. It provides an overview of the main points proposed by the Pact, demonstrating its significance in advancing the Europeanisation of migration policies. On the other hand, it reveals how the Pact, like many other EU migration proposals, is based on problematic and incomplete narratives about migration that restrain the possibility of a holistic approach to the issue. Building up on that, the article highlights the constraints and criticisms of the Pact, with special attention to the negative consequences migrants may face as a result of its implementation. Finally, it explores ways to counteract and deconstruct these narratives to enable societies to develop a more comprehensive approach to migration.
