New Research: Migrant Smuggling

This brief brings together key lessons emerging from GI-TOC research on the smuggling of migrants (SOM) between 2015-23. The research emphasises:

  1. The need to provide sufficient opportunities for legal migration

  2. The importance of timing for enforcement-led responses

  3. The adaptive nature of the smuggling industry, with route changes being implemented swiftly in response to seemingly formidable obstacles to population movement.

It further highlights policy implications and suggested ways forward.
