"The volume aims to address a gap in the field of security studies, namely the lack of attention to the subjects of human security, through a focus on a region that is not well-documented in much of the existing literature. The contributors collectively focus on the ways states and institutional structures—through migration and other policies—contribute to the human (in)security of irregular migrants."
