Title: Migrant Smuggling in Asia: An Annotated Bibliography

Summary: The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) conducted the research in support of the Bali Process, which is a regional, multilateral process to improve cooperation against migrant smuggling, trafficking in persons and related forms of transnational crime. The research focused in particular on fourteen countries: Afghanistan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, the Maldives, Myanmar, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam (the project countries). The research had three key objectives: (1) identify existing knowledge about migrant smuggling with regard to the project countries; (2) summarize and synthesize existing knowledge about migrant smuggling, thereby making it easier for decision makers to access key data and information; and (3) identify knowledge gaps, thereby making it easier to clearly identify research prioities. The research involved a systematic search of multiple bibliographic databases, library catalogues and websites, to locate empirically-based information about migrant smuggling (and to a lesser extent about irregular migration and trafficking in persons) in the project countries. This was followed by a thematic review of all of the information that was located. The research identified 154 sources that met the research criteria, which are described in Tables I and II. The sources were then used as the basis of a thematic regional review and thematic country studies, which are published in UNODC (2012) Migrant Smuggling in Asia. A thematic Review of Literature. A summary of each of these sources is provided in this publication. The researchers allocated key words for each of these sources that reflect the research criteria. These key words are part of the 154 summaries.
