Migrant Smuggling: Irregular Migration from Asia and Africa to Europe
 |
| Anteprima |
This
book explores one important aspect of international irregular
migration, notably the smuggling of migrants from Asia and Africa into
southern European countries. During the last two decades, international
migration has intensified both across the East to West and South to
North axis,with Europe receiving increasing numbers of migrants from
developing countries in Africa and Asia (and also Latin America), and
this work examinesthis international movement of people that oftentakes
place illegally and involves either unlawful border crossings or
overstaying (with or without a visa). The book also discusses how
migration control policies in southern European countries may
inadvertently shape the migrant smuggling phenomenon and the smuggling
'business'.
