This article examines media and political asylum discourse in Luxembourg between 1993 and 2000. A frame analysis of media and political asylum discourses and a headline analysis of news coverage of the refugee and asylum question were implemented to that effect. The results show that media and political actors in Luxembourg used four frames to refer to the refugee and asylum question: administrative, genuineness, human dignity, and return home. Overall, the framing of asylum discourse in Luxembourg was shown to reflect a restrictive undercurrent—relating to the prevention of the asylum systems of member states of the European Union—identified in European asylum discourse. The article concludes by noting that the framing of media and political asylum discourse in Luxembourg was affected by national, international and supranational concerns relating to the regulation of asylum.
