About this book

One of the biggest challenges facing the Asia-Pacific region in the 21st century is the large scale cross-border movement of people. This book explores: sovereignty; security issues and border-management strategies of major states, in the face of intensified transnational economic and social processes; and the expanding global governance regime.

Reviews

'This is a rare and useful study, providing a wide range of insights, mainly focused on Asia, but offering no easy recipes for solutions.' - Sumaya Khair, South Asia Research
