Overview

The contributors to this book investigate migration governance in Asia through a multilevel analysis, addressing its local, national and regional dimensions as well as placing it in the wider context of global migration governance. Core case studies include migration to and within Japan, the migration of Burmese and Tibetan refugees to India, and the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar. Evaluating the rules, norms and processes put in place by state and non-state actors to cope with international migration, the contributors focus especially on migration flows and the extent to which Asian cases are distinct from those elsewhere. This includes comparative cases from Europe and the United States to provide a comparative context for the analysis of Asia. A valuable resource for students and scholars of migration studies, especially those with a particular interest in Asia.

Reviews

"""At a time when the centre of geopolitical gravity is decisively shifting towards Asia, this edited collection sheds light on an aspect largely overlooked, that of migration governance analyzed in its local, national and regional dimensions. Written by leading experts on the topic, the book contributes to our understanding of contemporary dynamics in Asia and of its implications for the West.""---Nicola Casarini, Associate fellow, Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI)"
