Abstract

ABSTRACT Migrants’ healthcare entitlement represents a conflictive issue in the political battlefield, with research pointing towards the determinant role of party politics in determining policy outputs. Addressing the 2012 healthcare reform and 2018 counter-reform adopted in Spain by a right-wing and left-wing government respectively and drawing on qualitative analysis of parties’ discourses and policy measures, we argue that ideological differences along the healthcare-migration nexus were overemphasised to play symbolic politics. Partisan competition had less impact on actual outputs, while clashes between the central and regional governments, path-dependent practices and opposition from multiple venues played a central role in the policymaking process.

西班牙的移民和医疗改革:象征政治，趋同输出，来自外地的反对

移民的医疗保健权利代表了政治战场上的一个冲突问题，研究指出政党政治在决定政策产出方面的决定性作用。针对西班牙右翼和左翼政府分别采用的2012年医疗改革和2018年反改革，并通过对政党话语和政策措施的定性分析，我们认为，在医疗保健-移民关系上的意识形态差异被过分强调，以发挥象征性政治作用。党派竞争对实际产出的影响较小，而中央和地方政府之间的冲突、路径依赖的做法和来自多个场所的反对在政策制定过程中发挥了核心作用。
