Crossing National Borders: Human Migration Issues In Northeast Asia
by Akaha, Tsuneo; Anna Vassilieva (Eds.)
About This Book
This richly informative and groundbreaking study is the product of international collaborative research begun in 2001 under direction from the United Nations University. It traces and discusses how the very live forces of internationalism/globalisation, nationalism and communalism affect the growing migration flows in Northeast Asia. Much case material is used in the study where the main focus is on: how well or how poorly a country is absorbing its migrant population; how it deals with the threat factor (which very often relates to China); the implications for migration of the ageing of society (particularly Japan); basic human security issues including illegal human trafficking, particularly women, and the exploitation of illegals. Migration trends are related to regional policy issues in the final chapter. Referenced, with tabulated data and index
