Summary
The publication “focuses primarily on the patterns and dynamics of migrant smuggling, as it concerns the North African region.” The aim of the publication is to examine the patterns and trends concerning the smuggling of migrants, into, through and from North Africa, and to highlight the need for further research on specific issues – such as information on the organization of travel, the treatment of migrants by smugglers, the logistics involved in the transportation of people, or on smuggling networks. The review is also complemented by an annotated bibliography of recent relevant publications.
