ABSTRACT

While previous international cooperation has focused on border control and the management of immigration (see Winterdyk and Sundberg 2010a), there is now a need for a di­erent kind of international cooperation. Measures to protect state security, to prevent inltration by foreign spies, enemies, terrorists, or unwanted refugees always seem to take precedence over human security concerns. Even when governments are claiming to be taking certain measures to prevent human tra†cking or to protect refugees and poor immigrants against criminal exploitation, one sometimes suspects that they are indeed moved by far less humanitarian motives.
