Transit countries: challenges, pressure and compromises
In this panel we seek to examine how transit countries or countries of transit along the often travelled migration routes have adjusted to the pressure from their powerful neighbours (Australia, EU and USA) and make them – rather than the countries of origin or resettlement – the centre of analysis. A starting point for discussion could be Ann Kimball's (2007) study of Mexico and Morocco as the transit country, in which she proposed four determining factor – geography, emigration, function and state response – to define the transit state. According to Kimball, for a country to be a typical transit country, it must first share a border with a fully developed country. Second, it must have high emigration rates and rather low immigration rates. Third, it has to serve as a primary staging ground for migrants planning a clandestine entrance to a destination country whose borders are guarded, often heavily. Fourth, countries deemed transit countries implement restrictive immigration policies and activities, more often than not with encouragement and financial assistance from a neighbouring country that is the intended destination country of transit migrants.
I myself will prepare a paper on the situation in Indonesia and how Indonesia has adjusted to the ongoing pressure from Australia in regard to border control, asylum seeker protection and detention policies. I would particularly like to invite contributions on Turkey, Greece, Morocco, Libya and Mexico, but the panel is open for contributions on other countries as well.
