Whether states view themselves as powerful actors who can successfully exclude outsiders or as vulnerable actors in need of stronger policies to repel potential threats, they end up subverting access to human rights, altering laws, and extending power beyond their own borders.Human smugglingEmigration and immigrationHuman smugglingPreventionNoncitizensIllegal immigrationHuman smuggling.Emigration and immigration.Human smugglingPrevention.Noncitizens.Illegal immigration.364.1/37Mountz Alison1478541ProQuest (Firm)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785063303321Seeking asylum3694224UNINA
