Abstract
This study aims to analyze the changing issues of refugee discourse as the concept of governmobility. From the perspective of governmobility, refugees are not only politically interpreted, but also become a tool to represent the position of the receiving country. As a result of the keyword analysis on Afghanistan refugees in Korean newspaper articles, Afghanistan refugees were only an issue in Europe and Western countries until the 1990s, but are now at the center of refugee issues in many countries, including South Korea. The background of the change is related to the internalization of refugee issues, mainly focusing on the nation’s inclusiveness to refugees. Also, the domestic refugee issue is not composed of homogeneous forms and contents, creating new discourses and various political spaces.
