Description

Global Human Smuggling: A Comparative Perspective This comprehensive study explores human smuggling in various forms and regions, examining its historical, social, economic, and cultural roots. Since its first edition, the topic has evolved significantly, with migrant smuggling and human trafficking becoming increasingly entrenched worldwide. The book delves into the moral economy of human smuggling, highlighting the growing number of asylum seekers who escape political violence by being smuggled. Contributors reflect on recent trends and events, including developments following 9/11 and the creation of the US Department of Homeland Security. The updated edition provides a nuanced understanding of human smuggling's broad political consequences in a warming world. By considering multiple perspectives and examining the complexities of this global phenomenon, this book offers valuable insights into one of the most pressing issues of our time.
