Reviews

'This book is highly informative on both theoretical and policy fronts, thereby offering a valuable tool for policymakers as well as researchers or students who are interested in international economic development of Asian economies.' -- Hai Anh La, Asian-Pacific Economic Literature

‘The first of its kind, this book seeks to lay the foundation for a serious discussion of intra-ASEAN labor mobility, a critical pillar of economic and financial integration. All ten chapters provide the necessary research foundation for an informed discussion of skilled labor migration in the ASEAN region, and the book is an essential read for policymakers to effectively implement MRAs in pursuit of the AEC aspirations. It is a timely book to educate not only the leaders, but ASEAN’s people, on what they can become and how to achieve it.’ -- Angeli Patricia Cheng Romero, Journal of Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law ‘This book is highly informative on both theoretical and policy fronts, thereby offering a valuable tool for policymakers as well as researchers or students who are interested in international economic development of Asian economies.’ -- Hai Anh La, Asian-Pacific Economic Literature
