This book examines the International Organization for Migration's
(IOM) practices of international migration management and studies
current transformations of migration governance and the role of
international organizations outside Europe. While so-called
migration crises in North Africa in 2005 and 2011 made the
instability of the increasingly militarized border regime visible,
they also created space for new actors and instruments to emerge
under the label of international migration management, promising
softer forms to control migration outside Europe. Who are these
actors, and how do they think and practice migration control
without the use of physical force and obvious repression? This book
develops an innovative theoretical framework that mobilizes
Bourdieu's Theory of Practice to critically investigate the work of
the IOM in Morocco and Tunisia between 2005 and 2015. Analyzing its
information campaigns, voluntary return programs, and
anti-trafficking politics, the book shows how this organization
teaches (potential) migrants and North African actors to understand
migration as their own problem and its management as their own
responsibility. This book advances our understanding of the complex
and ambivalent practices of controlling migration through
information, protection and repatriation, and the implications of
ubiquitous but underresearched institutions, such as the IOM, in
this contested field. It will appeal to postgraduates, researchers,
and academics in International Relations Theory, Border and
Migration Studies, International Political Sociology, international
organizations, and contemporary politics in North Africa.
