EU Borders discourses during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Codebook

Description

The Pandemic Border Discourses project identifies and compares the evolution of discourses restricting internal and external mobility in Europe as the Covid-19 pandemic is unfolding. It is designed to show how political actors use discourses to justify their decisions in emergency situations, and analyse whether and how unforeseen systemic pressure disrupts bordering discourses and practices. It contributes to a better understanding of the political, social and economic issues driving policy decision in times of crisis, above all the tension between national interest and transnational solidarity.

This coding manual explains our data collection strategy and introduces the variables of the dataset. Building on a core-sentence analysis method, we collect and analyse institutional discourses about mobility during the Covid-19 crisis on Twitter.
