Migration in the Mediterranean: Mechanisms of International Cooperation

Mediterranean
 states have developed various cooperation mechanisms in order to cope 
with the issues that arise from migration. This book critically analyses
 how institutional actors act and interact on the international scene in
 the control and management of migration in the Mediterranean. It 
highlights how, even though the involvement of 'universal' international
 organisations guarantees a certain balance in setting the goals of 
cooperation mechanisms and buttresses a certain coherence of the 
actions, the protection of migrants' fundamental rights is still an 
objective as opposed to a reality, and security imperatives and trends 
still prevail in the aftermath of the 2011 Arab Spring.
