Abstract

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led the Italian government to enact a regularization programme, the first in eight years, which also allowed asylum seekers to switch from a humanitarian to an employment-based status. This study sheds light on how this re-categorization opportunity was concretely experienced by (potential) applicants by examining 21 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and Salvadorean asylum seekers. Drawing on emerging literature on uncertainty and temporality, we argue that the institutional uncertainty characterizing the programme compromised Salvadorian asylum seekers’ ability to act strategically toward the attainment of a less precarious status.

“我不知道该做什么”:萨尔瓦多寻求庇护者面临2020年意大利大赦的不确定性
2020年,2019冠状病毒病大流行导致意大利政府八年来首次颁布了一项正规化计划,该计划还允许寻求庇护者从人道主义身份转变为就业身份。本研究通过对主要利益攸关方和萨尔瓦多寻求庇护者进行21次深入访谈,揭示了(潜在)申请人如何具体体验这种重新分类的机会。根据关于不确定性和暂时性的新兴文献,我们认为该方案的制度不确定性损害了萨尔瓦多寻求庇护者为实现不那么不稳定的地位而采取战略行动的能力。
