Millions of people around the Asia-Pacific region are suffering
from the twin effects of globalization and exclusionary nationality
laws. Some are migrant workers without rights in host countries;
some are indigenous peoples who are not accorded their full rights
in their own countries. Yet others are refugees escaping from
regimes that have no respect for human rights. This collection of
essays discusses the ways in which citizenship laws in the region
might be made consistent with human dignity. It considers the
connectedness of national belonging and citizenship in East and
Southeast Asian and Pacific states including Australia; the impact
of mass migration, cultural homogenization and other effects of
globalization on notions of citizenship; and possibilities of
commitment to a transnational democratic citizenship that respects
cultural difference.
