Underlying Exclusionary Logic
• Discoursive exclusion through Lack of reference to
asylum seekers as a discrete category. Asylum seekers excluded from statistics.
Asylum seekers are excluded from the rights discourse.
• Access to RSD system is partial (at best). Unusually low recognition rates, only few refugees recognized each year.
• Multiple Exclusionary practices in which the coercive
force of the state is applied.
