Abstract: There is an ongoing debate among practitioners and scholars about the security consequences of transnational migration. The measures states can implement to mitigate these effects are not fully taken into account by the existing literature, hence we lack reliable evidences for the effectiveness of such instruments. This research addresses both shortcomings: it provides new insights on the implication of population movement on state security; and it increases knowledges on the effectiveness of states’ policies addressing migration challenges.
