Politics of Climate Change & Human Mobilities in European National Parliaments: Critical Q Analysis

A research talk presented at the #ecmn23 conference by Sarah L. Nash from the University for Continuing Education Krems. More info: https://www.climatemobilities.network... Abstract With climate change and human mobilities both occupying central positions on European political agendas, the two areas of politics and policy are also increasingly being brought into contact with another. One key way the linkages are articulated is by the climate movement emphasising the potential for climate change to trigger human mobility towards Europe in order to tap into populist, far-right anti-migrant sentiments and increase support for climate policy. This article uses a mixed methods approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Q-methodology (Q) to interrogate parliamentarians’ perspectives on climate change and human mobility politics. I identify four distinct perspectives on climate change and human mobility politics: 1) a responsible position in the world; 2) the climate-reluctant racist; 3) trust in the international community; 4) our way or the highway. I analyse these perspectives in the context of uneven social and power relations and argue that the instrumentalization of (fear of) people on the move to advance climate policy is not only normatively but practically flawed. I draw on points of consensus and dissent between the four perspectives to postulate that the four perspectives identified are divided along different understandings of responsibility and different conceptualisations of what national interests entail. Generating a deeper understanding of how politicians understand responsibility is therefore a more promising avenue for kickstarting cooperation on climate change and human mobilities, while fostering a more positive discourse around human mobilities generally is much more likely to move the needle towards productive policy outcomes.
