This book examines the overall trends and labour patterns of
migrants, their relationship with the state, and the impacts they
have on the societies in which they work and sometimes settle. The
book adopts a multidisciplinary perspective which encompasses
economics, history, politics, geography, and sociology, and
presents a unique body of new empirical research that forms the
basis of many of the chapters. The book emphasises the growing
importance and value of transnational communities and multiple
identities. It covers many of the diverse migration patterns that
have recently emerged - from rural out-migration in China, to
international labour movements in the Asia Pacific region as a
whole. The conditions of many migrant workers are far from
satisfactory and this is highlighted in a number of the chapters.
Settlement outcomes, when and where they occur, have major policy
and social implications and are changing the ethnic composition of
many countries in the region. The growth of civil society in
Singapore, increased ethnic diversity in Japan and the emergence of
New Zealand's multicultural population are all examples of some of
the developments that host nations are having to come to terms
with. This extensive book presents state-of-the-art research on
migration in the Asia Pacific, specifically focusing on the
economic, political and social identities of migrants, and the
responses of different states to this complex issue. It will be
extremely worthwhile reading for students, scholars and researchers
in the social sciences, especially those with an interest in
geography, demography and the theory and policy of international
migration.
