Routledge Series on Asian Migration

About the Book Series

Asia is the most dynamic region of human mobility in terms of who moves, the number of movers, and 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, and at the same time witnessing shifting cultural geographies formed by growing Asian diasporas.
This series addresses various dynamic trends of international migration in Asia as a regional and global phenomenon and the growing presence of Asian communities within and beyond Asia. 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 factors influencing migration. 
Books in the series broaden the discussions of the relationship between migration 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, and consequential social changes. It 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.
