Riassunto

Thirteen chapters focus on the historical context, social organization, and political ramifications of human smuggling across national borders as a global phenomenon. While some smuggling involves trafficking in humans as commodities coercing young women into prostitution, for example increasingly, it is a matter of moving migrants who are willing to risk the dangers of a clandestine journey to seek better living standards or escape political persecution and disasters in a world with ever more restrictive asylum policies. Contributors look at patterns of migrant smuggling as well as the social organization of those who undertake human smuggling as a criminal venture and the state policies that serve to keep them in business.

Recensione:

"Illegal immigration and those who profit from it are topics of great interest to the general public and scholars alike. In this careful scholarly examination of the subject, the authors place the issues in historical and comparative context, examining the emergence of international law and a global moral order of human rights while also exploring the political and economic aspects of the illicit traffic in people. Although the literature on migration is huge, this is the only scholarly book that comprehensively focuses on the topic of human smuggling." -- Chris Chase-Dunn, University of California, Riverside
