Summary/Abstract: The article is aimed at identifying the existing link between the media and the predominant narrative on migration and asylum in the construction of public belief and the elaboration of various governing processes concerning migration and asylum, by carrying out a comparative multilevel analysis of public discourses launched by the political leaders in different Member States and by the representatives of EU institutions during the current refugee/migration crisis begun in 2015. We believe that by undertaking a multilevel comparative critical discourse analysis concerning the current migration crisis, we could better comprehend the elaborated policy actions and governing processes both at intergovernmental and supranational level.
