The Migration Mobile explores how governments use technology to control borders, and how migrants use technology to circumvent, challenge, and reconfigure that same border apparatus. The book investigates these issues through empirical examples drawn from across Europe, including cases from Greece, the Austrian-Italian border, and Northern Europe.
