Migration information campaigns and awareness-raising activities are increasingly used by Western governments as a “soft” tool of border enforcement in countries of origin, transit, and destination. Acting upon perceptions and aspirations, these information provision initiatives aim at convincing (potential) migrants to remain in or “voluntarily” return to their country of origin. As they rely on security and humanitarian rationales, they gather heterogenous actors whose practices oscillate between migration control and assistance. Yet, despite their apparently consensual nature, these initiatives bring out conflicting interests and generate contestations on the ground. In this perspective, this SI approaches information as a highly crowded and disputed field to grasp the complexity of power relationships in a restrictive migration context. Drawing on an interdisciplinary perspective, it investigates the discourses and norms conveyed by governmental initiatives that use information as a tool to control mobilities; the communication strategies defined by state and non-state actors to reach (potential) migrants; and the everyday practices deployed by migrants themselves to navigate this disputed information landscape.

The volume presents a comparative study of border security policies with a special focus on both internal and cross-border cooperation between the agencies and actors responsible for dealing with cross-border security issues. The need for such cooperation arises in response to the rise of transnational illegal economic activities that exploit not only cross-border di ff er-ences in prices and demand but also poor coordination of joint law enforcement e ff orts. The book consists of the introduction (by Christian Leuprecht, Todd Hataley, Kelly Sund-berg, Keith Cozine, and Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly) and seven chapters, devoted to seven regional case studies: U.S. and Canada (authored by Christian Leuprecht, Todd Hataley, Kelly Sundberg, Keith Cozine and Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly), Australia and New Zealand (by Jamie Ferrill, Germana Nicklin, Tim Legrand and Haydn McComas), European Union (by Johann Wagner), Latin America ’ s Southern Cone (by Adriana Dorfman, Rafael Francisco França and Julian Mokwa Felix), Middle East and North Africa (MENA; by Daniel Meier), Africa ’ s Sahel (by Thomas Cantens), and India-Pakistan (by Dhananjay Tripathi).
