Global and Asian Perspectives on International Migration

Global and Asian Perspectives on International Migration

Global Migration Issues Volume 4 Series Editor: Dr. Frank Laczko Head of Research and Publications, International Organization for Migration (IOM), Geneva This book series contributes to the global discussion about the future of migration policy through the publication of a series of books on emerging migration issues. Most reports on migration policy tend to focus on national or regional perspectives; books in this series will focus on global policy challenges, such as the impact of climate change or the global economic crisis, on migration. This series is closely linked to the production of IOM s World Migration Report. Some of the books in this series will be based on research which has been prepared for the World Migration Report. The series also includes a special focus on the linkages between migration and development, and the themes discussed each year at the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD), given the growing policy interest in harnessing the benefits of migration for development.

Acknowledgments Many ideas come to mind, float in the air, bounce back and forth in conversations with colleagues and friends and then go nowhere. Some ideas keep returning and beg for implementation. A conference pairing scholars from Asia with colleagues from the west was one such idea that did not go away. And a conference was planned and came to fruition in April 2013 with the support of individuals and institutions, who I am pleased to acknowledge. From inception to implementation there is a crucial phase which consists in finding the right cooperation. First of all, it is important to secure the cooperation of authors willing to put their mind into the task of writing and discussing theoretical perspectives on migration. For this reason, my first acknowledgement goes to the authors who have participated in the conference and then revised their contributions in view of a publication. To bring together a group of scholars from North America, Europe and Asian countries requires the support of persons who believe in the initiative. In this case, I was fortunate to find support from the regional and local offices of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). In particular, I am grateful to Nilim Baruah and Manuel Imson of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, based in Bangkok; to Catherine Vaillancourt Laflamme and Jennifer dela Rosa of the ILO Decent Work Across Borders, a project funded by the European Union, based in Manila; to Andrew Bruce of the IOM Regional Office in Bangkok; to Ovais Sarmad, who was then with the IOM Administrative Centre in Manila; and to Frank Laczko of the IOM Headquarters in Geneva, who supported the publication of the manuscript with Springer. The execution of the project was possible because of the cooperation of the staff of the Scalabrini Migration Center. In particular, the initiative was discussed and refined with Maruja M. B. Asis. Valentin Mendoza, Cecille Guerrero, Leonila Domingo and John Paul Asis assisted in the organizational aspects; Karen Anne S. Liao and Cecilia Marave provided editorial assistance. The mistakes that remain are mine. v
