Beskrivning

Despite labour shortages and rapidly shrinking working-age populations, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan shared restrictive immigration policies and exclusionary practices toward immigrants until the early 2000s. While Taiwan maintained this trajectory, Japan took incremental steps to expand immigrant services at the grassroots level, and South Korea enacted sweeping immigration reforms. How did convergent policies generate these divergent patterns of immigrant incorporation? Departing from the dominant scholarship that focuses on culture, domestic political elites, and international norms, this book shows the important role of civil society actors - including immigrants themselves - in giving voice to immigrant interests, mobilizing immigrant actors, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration. Based on more than 150 in-depth interviews and focus groups with over twenty immigrant communities, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies examines how the civic legacies of past struggles for democracy shape current movements for immigrant rights and recognition.

Recensioner i media

'This pioneering book offers one of the first systematic comparative studies of immigration and citizenship regimes in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Erin Aeran Chung unpacks both the structural similarities among the three cases and their surprising divergences in the 2000s. Chung demonstrates how civil society and preexisting patterns of civic legacies explain how Korea has changed more than Japan, and why Taiwan has liberalized the least. This is a must-read book for students of migration studies and those interested in the politics and societies of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.' Yves Tiberghien, University of British Columbia
