Fortress Europe: have border controls worked? An interactive guide
In 2005, Frontex, the EU’s external border control agency, was launched, and with it ’Fortress Europe’ was born. Eight years on, it has transformed the continent’s land and sea borders, co-ordinating an enormous growth in border control measures. It has pioneered the use of ’remote borders’, pushing the responsibility for migration control into Africa and Asia. But have the millions spent on constructing these walls around Europe deterred migrants or simply pushed the most vulnerable into ever more dangerous situations?
