Description
Smugglers and States Negotiating the Maghreb at Its Margins by Max Gallien explores how governments in North Africa have long tolerated illegal trade across their borders, often to maintain stability and order. Through extensive fieldwork, Gallien reveals that smuggling can actually promote state and social stability, as it provides income for neglected border communities. The renegotiation of the role of smuggling is a pressing issue, particularly in light of recent securitization of borders, wars, and political change. This book offers valuable insights into security and stability in North Africa, shedding new light on the complex relationships between states, smuggling, and economic inclusion. With rich empirical detail and novel theoretical contributions, Smugglers and States provides a nuanced understanding of the politics of smuggling in North Africa, highlighting both its benefits and challenges for borderland communities.
