Opis

The region of Southeast Europe that includes the Former Yugoslavia (Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo) and Albania is one of the largest routes for undocumented migrants and asylum seekers in Europe and remains a notoriously difficult place to conduct research. Many of the states in this region are in the process of accession to the EU and this process has a direct impact on border control practices. This book considers the relationship between EU enlargement and border policing in Southeast Europe and its impact on mobile bodies, such as asylum seekers, mobile citizens and mobile non-citizens.
Drawing on rich and vast original research data, this book explores a variety of border control measures, including new security technologies such as biometrics and drones and their use in border policing interventions. It also outlines all the aspects of "mixed migration" processes and covers topics such as undocumented migration, asylum, smuggling and human trafficking. Crucially, this book outlines the impact of these interventions on citizens and non-citizens, transiting or originating from Southeast Europe.
