内容説明

The second half of the 20th century witnessed a series of mass migration in Asia due to war, politics and economic turbulence. Combined with recent global economic changes, the result is that Asia is now the world region producing the most international migrants and receiving the second most migrants. Asian migration has thus been of central concern to both academic researchers and policy communities. This book (together with its forthcoming second volume) provides a full span discussion of Asian migration from historical perspectives to updated analyses of current migration flows and diasporas. The book covers six sub-regional areas through focused themes: * Northeast Asia: Coping with Diversity in Japan and Korea * East Asian Chinese Migration: Taiwan, Hong Kong and China* Vietnamese Migration and Diaspora * Cambodian, Lao and Hmong Diaspora and Settlement* Singapore: New Immigrants and Return Migration * South Asian Migration and DiasporaAcademics as well as general readers will find this book useful for understanding the specific features of Asian migration, and how these features have evolved since the latter part of the 20th century. In providing an overall reassessment of Asian migration, the book enhances academic discussion of Asian migration, with crucial implications for migration-related policy-making in the region.

内容説明

This book represents a follow-up to 2014's The Age of Asian Migration: Continuity, Diversity, and Susceptibility Volume 1. Both volumes are the result of the conference on Asian Migration and Diasporas organised by the Southeast Asia Research Centre and held at the City University of Hong Kong in 2013. Despite numerous studies on Asian migration issues having been conducted over the past few decades, no comprehensive account of Asian migrations, especially those taking place since the end of the Second World War exists.While the first volume provided a discussion of a wide spectrum of topics concerning Asian migration - from historical perspectives to updated trends - this volume is organised around three major themes, namely "Women and Migration", "Refugee and Borderland Migration", and "Remittances and Migration Economics".The book contains new migration stories that provide fresh insights into human movements, and enhances academic discussions of migration through case studies from Asia.

内容説明

Asia has emerged as a vital region for migration, as it produces the most international and cross-border migrants and brings pivotal new insights to migration studies. These two volumes on "The Age of Asian Migration" revisit different forms and histories of migration in Asia and the varied diasporas formed by Asian migrants. They provide both updated data on Asian migration and suggest new ways of looking at global migration overall.
