This study is part of the multi-year project, "Strengthening the criminal justice capacity of African states to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate cases of terrorism,' which started in 2008. The project is being implemented by the International Crime in Africa Programme (ICAP) of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS)."

Author: Juntunen, Marko Title: Between Morocco and Spain: Men, migrant smuggling and a dispersed Moroccan community Summary: This study concerns the social construction of gender in a context characterised by movement across international borders. What follows can be classified as the ethnography of Moroccan sha´bi young men whose lives are deeply touched by "harraga" migrant smuggling from Morocco to Spain. The main stage of this study is in Morocco but constant side-tracks opened by the subjects' social connections lead us to Spain, especially to industrial regions around Barcelona. The cultural context within which these men operate refuses to be bounded by geographical borders. In short: we are dealing with processes of constructing male gender in a cultural setting which resists labelling in geographical terms. These men, if not actually crossing borders themselves, would very much like to see themselves do so. They identify themselves in complex ways so that notions of 'belonging', 'loyalty' and 'home' are ambiguous and often contradictory. In many ways these men are between Morocco and Spain. In respect to the men that form the subject of this study, the nature of their social connections and the centrality of migration in their lives as an actual practice or aspiration make it essential to think of Morocco and migrant concentrations in Spain as a single cultural space with its flows of influences which bear upon male identities. The main interest lies in the following questions: how do these men orient in a social reality characterised by tensions between international mobility made possible by harraga and the restrictions of mobility imposed by the European Union's (EU) migration policy? What does this, in many respects new political, economic and social space mean to these men and how do they conceptualise their place in it? What do their migration practices and discourses concerning migration tell about notions of male identity and masculinity? How should we understand the choices of thousands of Moroccans who pay fortunes to migrant smugglers, embark on small open boats (pateras) and risk their lives hoping to reach the northern shore of the Mediterranean?
