Meyer, Tomás Jimenéz) Summary: Scholars note that immigration politics in the era of globalization is fundamentally based on contradictory principles. On the one hand, globalization has put pressure on states to make their decisions more attuned to global norms and values, which leads to greater openness to migrants. On the other hand, states have been confronted with the increasing concern that global culture and cosmopolitan identity might replace national culture and identity, which leads to greater barriers to migrants. As globalization proceeds, a growing number of states are confronting this paradoxical situation, but there have been few scholarly attempts to examine how a nation-state adopts and/or rejects immigration in a way that caters to both global and national audiences. Utilizing the dataset that I created through field research and newspaper coding, this study shows that South Korea develops its own unique way of incorporating migrants that satisfies the aforementioned competing pressures 1

2 simultaneously: it symbolically pursues multiculturalism thereby creating a global image of embracing diversity while in reality it preserves its national identity by gender-selective immigration and assimilation.
