ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations) has made slow
progress in defining a regional policy for the protection of
migrant workers. This book examines the normative structures within
the institutions at play at both state and regional level of ASEAN,
which influence the making of a migrant workers' protection
policy.The author puts forward a novel alternative policy analysis
tool - the Two Level State and Regional Analysis - that enables
satisfactory explanation for policy-making cases, whereby normative
institutional structures are involved and social policies are
considered. The author argues that the formulation of a working
coherent migrant workers protection policy has not been achieved
because of the presence of normative institutional structures with
ideas unsupportive to the protection of migrant workers, which
results in a slow institutionalisation process. Although the
migrant workers in question are their citizens, and migrant sending
countries are supposed to have more supportive normative structures
for workers protection, the author finds that when examined
closesly, institutions in both migrant sending and receiving
countries tend to have normative structures that are against
workers protection. These arguments drive the analytical questions
of the book to inquire about the forms of the normative structures
involved and their influence in the relevant institutions. A unique
contribution to the study of ASEAN and migration in Southeast Asia,
this book will be of interest to academics in the field of Social
Policy, Migration Studies and Asian Studies, in particular
Southeast Asian Studies.
