Migration Law and the Externalization of Border Controls

Meer over het boek

The book explores how European Union and member states have sought to externalize border controls, ostensibly to save lives and combat smuggling. However, it reveals that these strategies often lead to shifting borders, evasion of international obligations, and significant barriers to access for migrants seeking entry into Europe. Through critical analysis, it highlights the complex interplay between policy intentions and the real-world consequences of these measures.
