Asylum seeking and the global city are two major contemporary
subjects of analysis to emerge both in the literature and in public
and official discourses on human rights, urban socioeconomic change
and national security. Based on extensive, original ethnographic
research, this book examines the situation of asylum seekers in
Hong Kong and offers a narrative of their experiences related to
internal and external borders, the performance of border crossing
and asylum politics in the context of the global city. Hong Kong is
a city with no comprehensive legislation covering refugee claims
and official and public opinion is dominated by the view that the
city would be flooded with illegal economic migrants were policy
changes to be implemented. This book considers why Hong Kong has
become a destination for asylum seekers, how asylum seekers
integrate into local and global economic markets and why the
illegalization of asylum seekers plays a significant role in the
processes of global city formation. This book will be essential
reading for academics and students involved in the study of
migration; globalization and borders; research methods in
criminology; social problems and urban sociology.
