- Abstract
- This chapter compares the politicization of two reforms within the European parliamentary arena during the 2014-2019 term: the revision of the Common Visa Code and the adoption of the Copyright Directive. It draws inspiration from the concept of "political work" to analyze the role of rapporteurs in the dynamics and effects of politicization. This chapter introduces the concept of "framing activism" to denote the promotion by an actor of an antagonistic conception of a public issue as a means of asserting existence and engaging in conflict with other actors. By studying conflicts between "security," "commercial," and "humanitarian" framings in the case of visa policy, and conflicts between "cultural," "commercial," and "libertarian" framings in the case of copyright, we identify three types of framing activism strategies: blocking, mobilization of expertise, and the trans-institutionalization of the debate.
