Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the emergence of a ‘migration industry’ as a result of European border externalisation and security outsourcing practices to curb migration flows from Libya. It argues that the management of migration has been partly delegated to a network of interlinked private and public actors which constitute a complex migration governance structure that ultimately gives rise to issues of transparency and accountability. Informed by theoretical approaches drawn from both Security and Migration Studies, the article offers an empirical analysis of the organisation and logics of the migration industry in a specific context, mapping and analysing the setup of actors, structures and processes that contribute to the security of the Euro-Libyan border. By doing so, it offers important insights into contemporary migration governance in the European context.
