Despite labour shortages and rapidly shrinking working-age
populations, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan shared restrictive
immigration policies and exclusionary practices toward immigrants
until the early 2000s. While Taiwan maintained this trajectory,
Japan took incremental steps to expand immigrant services at the
grassroots level, and South Korea enacted sweeping immigration
reforms. How did convergent policies generate these divergent
patterns of immigrant incorporation? Departing from the dominant
scholarship that focuses on culture, domestic political elites, and
international norms, this book shows the important role of civil
society actors - including immigrants themselves - in giving voice
to immigrant interests, mobilizing immigrant actors, and shaping
public debate and policy on immigration. Based on more than 150
in-depth interviews and focus groups with over twenty immigrant
communities, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies
examines how the civic legacies of past struggles for democracy
shape current movements for immigrant rights and recognition.
