Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Guestworker migration has become an increasingly prominent feature within the economic landscape of the Asia-Pacific. Longstanding regional disparities have underscored the emergence of fragile remittance economies where a structural reliance on labour-export has offered an unsustainable 'fix' for stubborn developmental challenges. Combining political-economic and Foucauldian frames of analysis, this Element reconciles the macroeconomic contradictions of remittance economies with the political logics bound up in emigration policymaking, contending that new modalities of governance have emerged in the transition from developmental to emigration states. Comparing the policy histories of four diverse remittance economies in the region Myanmar, the Philippines, Samoa, and Sri Lanka it frames emigration policies as complex, inward-facing interventions that simultaneously promote and constrain mobility to address counterpoised economic and political pressures. Important variations are explored though the example of gendered migration bans, whereby emigration states have situated women's bodies as sites for resolving contextually specific social tensions accompanying labour-export. This Element explores the rise of guestworker migration in Asia-Pacific economies. It combines political economic and Foucauldian frames to reconcile macroeconomic contradictions with political logics in emigration policymaking, revealing inward-facing interventions that promote and constrain mobility in response to shared economic contradictions.
