Dictators as Gatekeepers for Europe: Outsourcing EU Border Controls to Africa

By Simone Schlindwein and Christian Jacob

Dictators as Gatekeepers for Europe is a detailed journalistic account of how the EU is attempting to limit mobility within the African continent as a matter of the EU's domestic policy agenda, hence the title hinting at the many agreements (with Turkey, Libya, Sudan) aimed at blocking migrants from approaching the European continent. The new "Berlin Wall" not only encircles Europe, but also generates a proliferation of militarised borders in Africa. ...To summarise, the authors argue, Europe desires protected borders and open markets. The novelty is the amount of material that this book contains about African desires and strategies, both as a continent and as single states. This, in particular, makes the work a collection of extremely valuable directions in research.
