The book is edited by Gunter Schubert, Franziska Plümmer and Anastasiya Bayok, and analyses immigration policies in East Asia in the context of contemporary global migration flows and mobility. It is one of the first scholarly attempts to investigate East Asian immigration from such a comprehensive perspective. East Asian states demonstrate both similarities and striking differences in their immigration governance strategies and practices. International norms, as well as established traditional connections between states and nations in East Asia, accompanied by economic interdependences and in some cases political tensions in the region, self-identity and perceptions of “the other” effect immigration policy in East Asia in multiply ways. To assess how global norms of migration have impacted the East Asian migration region and explore regional migration trends, the book contains 13 case studies which investigate the regulation of immigration in China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Three analytical strands, namely, norm diffusion, identity politics, and citizenship, build the theoretical framework for the case studies which investigate how regional and national norms, discourses, and institutions affect local communities and migration patterns. The most recent world-wide mobility restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic could also leave its mark on immigration governance in East Asia.
