With a range of case studies from Asia, this book sheds light on
empirical realizations of marginality in a globalized context using
first-hand original research. In the late 2000s, the financial
crisis witnessed the fragility of high levels of market integration
and the vulnerability of globalisation. Since then, the world seems
to have entered an epoch of anxiety featuring populism with varying
degrees of protectionism and nationalism. What is the nature of
this populist mood as a backlash against globalisation? How do
people feel about it and act upon it? Why should specific
intellectual attention be paid to the increasingly marginalised by
the recent macroscopic structural changes? These are the questions
addressed by the contributors of this book, illustrated with
specific cases from mainland China, Hong Kong and India, all of
which have undergone substantial populist or nationalist movements
since 2010. A valuable resource for sociologists looking to
understand the impacts of globalization, especially those with a
particular interest in Asia.

The world seems to have recently discovered India and China as
major players in Asia, and political and economic connections
between the two countries are rapidly growing. Beyond the
fashionable phenomenon, the two countries have much in common and
many shared experiences. Both are developing countries with dynamic
economies focused on lifting their people out of poverty. There are
also differences as well, as India is a democracy while China is an
autocratic state, and the speed of economic growth is much higher
in India. This collection provides a comparative analysis of
development-induced migration in India and China caused by
urbanization and dam construction. The contributors include
scholars from both countries working in both academia and
consultancy positions.
Migration is at the center of much of the discussion on
globalization. Migrants move across borders and thus defy
state-centered traditions. Migration is often caused or influenced
by aspects of global change: the transformation of the world
economy with the expansion of free trade, the modification of the
world balance of power and the challenge of global insecurity, the
emergence of the global environment as an important political
issue, and the redefinition of the role of communities in shaping
identities when faced with networks of migrants and diasporas.
Forced Migration and Global Processes considers the crossroads of
forced migration with three global trends: development, human
rights, and security. This expert collection studies these complex
interactions and aims to help determine what solutions may
alleviate most of the human suffering involved in forced
migrations.
