| Summary/Abstract |
The world has turned its attention to the long and dangerous journeys undertaken by migrants.1 Not a week goes by without media reports of migrant boats capsizing in the Mediterranean and corpses washing ashore; of the tens of thousands of Middle-Eastern and African migrants who trek across the Balkans or Turkey to reach the European Union (EU); on the other side of the globe, of Asian trafficking and smuggling networks that span multiple countries or even continents; of people dying in hidden compartments in trucks or transport containers; or of the deteriorating human rights situation confronting Central Americans crossing Mexico to arrive in the United States (US).
