Routledge Series on Asian Migration

Asia is the most dynamic region of human mobility in terms of who moves, for what reason and by which means. Asian countries are receivers, senders and transit places for both long-term and short-term migrants, hosting growing migrant communities from around the world. At the same time, cultural geographies experience various shifts due to the growing Asian diasporas formed within and beyond Asia.

This series addresses various dynamic trends of international migration in Asia as a regional and global phenomenon. It brings together interests in critical migration studies from inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives and research undertaken from a variety of methods, focusing on the experiences of migrants and other actors and factors influencing migration.

Books in the series broaden the discussions of the relationship among migration corridors along Asia and globalization, regionalization, transnationalism, development, governance, postcolonialism, crises, identity and diaspora. They address specific socio-cultural, economic and political dynamics – such as gender, intersectional relations, population, family and marriage patterns, new class or group formation, and the transformation of values and belief systems – that have been brought about by Asian migration. This series highlights Asia as a region with robust migration movements, which is one of the most dynamic areas bringing critical social changes within and across national boundaries.

The series welcomes submissions from prominent scholars in Asian Migration studies as well as emerging scholars with empirically rich and updated research from all disciplines ranging from any social sciences, policy studies, business studies to law.
