"Economic Globalization, Democracy, and Political Behavior" published on by Oxford University Press.

Explores the challenge that human smuggling poses to individual nations & international efforts to combat it. The issue of state control is discussed in relation to economic globalization & politics that link migration & crime in policy formation. Processes of economic globalization that have paved the way for increased international migration & transnational crime are examined, along with state & multilateral responses to human smuggling, including greater border controls, antismuggling/-trafficking laws, & campaigns to increase enforcement of such laws. A description of difficulties faced by policymakers notes the problems involved in targeting migrant traffickers, as well as the unintended consequences of stricter border controls, including the greater willingness of migrants to pay higher prices for smuggling services. Even though antismuggling initiatives have failed to control the recent expansion in human smuggling, international cooperation in law enforcement & immigration policies may be resisted by states fearing infringement on their sovereignty. Likewise, major restrictions on employer access to cheap illegal migrant labor is likely to provoke resistance by powerful interest groups. 64 References. J. Lindroth
