이주민 사회통합 과정의 갈등관리 사례 분석:2021년 아프간 난민 국내 수용 과정에서 탈안보화(desecuritization) 메커니즘 발현의 ‘인과적 과정추적 분석’ = Case Study of Conflict Management in the Process of Migrants’ Social Integration: A “Causal Process-Tracing” Analysis of the Emergence of De-securitization Mechanisms in the Process of Hosting Afghan Evacuees in 2021

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Using causal process tracing methods, argument analysis, and competing hypotheses analysis (ACH), this study examines the mechanisms of “de-securitization” of security concerns that occurred during the in-country hosting of Special Contributors in Afghanistan in 2021. The findings of the study are as follows. First, “rescue and entry,” “community acceptance,” “stay and resettlement support,” and “social reaction” were identified as the main discourses. The sentiments associated with the main discourses in the case were positive at the beginning of the special contributors’ arrival in the country, but negative sentiments began to emerge as the discussion of the case became linked to Muslim culture. Second, there was not enough evidence to collectively substantiate the proposition of politicization as a precursor to securitization. Third, we found that the processual mechanisms of “immediate acceptance of the issue into the government's policy agenda” and “audience support for the government's early response” allowed the issue of social conflict caused by the influx of migrants into the country to no longer be perceived as an existential threat by the public, and thus allowed for an early transition to the “de-securitization” stage.
