“…A third area of research has looked at the emergence of activist groups in relation to refugees and migrants, which are not so much interested in humanitarian work but develop often radical political positions and foster the emergence of new patterns of solidarity. This is the case of all the 'no border' groups that promote the free movement of people, or of activists' initiatives at the US borderlands and at the EU (internal) borders (Burridge 2009, Millner 2011, Castañeda 2013, Squire 2014, Johnson 2015, Williams 2015, Sandri 2018, Filippi et al 2021. Of a particular significance here are the developments in the Mediterranean, where civil society has taken major 'search and rescue' (SAR) initiatives to save migrants' lives at sea and now play a central role in the governance of maritime migration (Stierl 2016;Cusumano 2017, Cuttitta 2018, Esperti 2020, Cuttitta 2022.…”

International migration is a critical issue in contemporary societies. Migration is at the centre of the ‘transnationalized social question’ located at the interstices between the Global South and the Global North (Faist T. The Transnationalized Social Question. Migration and the Politics of Social Inequalities in the Twenty-First Century. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2019). Whilst irregular migration is problematised and criminalised in the Global North, in sending societies venturing abroad is often viewed as a dream or a hope, regardless of the legal framework in which this mobility and subsequent settlement occur, thus often giving the impression that migrants take the time spent in an irregular condition for granted. This introduction will outline the structure of this Reader, in which we hope to provide ample insight into the contentious theme of irregular migration by elaborating on its origins, the policies devised to deal with it, possible responses to it, the actors involved, and the agency of irregular migrants themselves. The Reader starts by highlighting the issue of irregular migration, discussing terminology, and providing estimates of the population involved.
