transnarodowe sieci rzecznicze, model bumerangu, migracje, aktywizmAbstrakt
Niniejszy artykuł analizuje transnarodową sieć rzeczniczą (ang. transnational activist network, TAN), która powstała w odpowiedzi na kryzys humanitarny na granicy polsko-białoruskiej, i bada, dlaczego klasyczny „bumerangowy” wzorzec rzecznictwa nie zdołał wywrzeć oczekiwanej presji na polski rząd. Pomimo że TAN była w stanie zmobilizować różne podmioty i dotrzeć do instytucji międzynarodowych, jej wpływ był ograniczony. Identyfikujemy dwa główne powody tego ograniczenia: (1) fragmentaryczny, oddolny charakter krajowej części TAN, składającej się w dużej mierze z niesprofesjonalizowanych aktorów, oraz (2) ograniczona zdolność reagowania Unii Europejskiej, konceptualizowanej tutaj jako podmiot korporacyjny z wewnętrznymi podziałami, które utrudniają spójne działanie. Poprzez empiryczne mapowanie działań rzeczniczych, niniejsze studium rozwija badania stosunków międzynarodowych na temat TAN poprzez rekonceptualizację tych sieci jako „aren walki”. Wyniki badań ilustrują, w jaki sposób ograniczone możliwości, asymetryczna władza i strategiczne umniejszanie znaczenia tworzą ograniczenia ponadnarodowego rzecznictwa.
