虽然人们通常认为走私发生在偏远和难以进入的边境地区，但实际上，走私在国家严格控制的地区最为普遍，包括正式的过境点。为了理解这一难题，本文探讨了国家和走私者在国际边界上的关系。基于在北非和东南亚的各种边境地区的广泛的实证研究，它认为，不同类型的走私者喜欢不同类型的关系与国家。本文概述了这种关系的六种理想类型。它认为，这些类型的关系是不同走私网络如何选择沿着边界路线的主要因素。调查结果对我们理解走私和旨在解决走私问题的政策具有影响，特别是关于边境防御工事和预防腐败的影响。
Although smuggling is commonly assumed to happen in remote and difficult-to-access borderlands, in reality, smuggling is most prevalent in areas that states tightly control, including at formal border crossings. To understand this puzzle, this article explores the relationship between states and smugglers at international borders. Based on extensive empirical research in various borderlands in North Africa and Southeast Asia, it argues that different kinds of smugglers prefer different types of relationships with the state. The article outlines six ideal types of such relationships. It contends that these types of relationships are the dominant factor in how different smuggling networks choose routes along a border. The findings have implications for our understanding of smuggling and policies that aim at addressing smuggling, especially regarding the effects of border fortifications and corruption prevention.
