Summary/Abstract: Securitization of Migrants in Slovakia – Discourse Analysis. Security discourse has been identified as one of the leading perspectives in the field of migration in many countries. Slovakia is not an exception. On contrary, security discourse has been dominant and institutionalized here in practice. The article analyses specific features and rationality of security discourse in Slovakia through qualitative discourse analysis of key policy documents, laws, parliamentary debates and comments of politicians in the media. It focuses also on current changes of migration discourse in a broader European and global context. These changes are connected with the growing relevance of so called “migration management” in the migration field. Sociológia 2015, Vol. 47 (No. 4: 319-339)
