IS "REGULAR" MIGRATION A SAFER FORM OF MIGRATION? THE CASE OF ASIA

Laura Foley / Nicola Piper

This paper examines one key feature of intra-regional migration in Asia: irregularity, and it does so beyond the typical focus on irregular entry by highlighting ‘irregularity in regularity’, that is irregularity as the result of extremely rigidly designed legal pathways for migration. Our analysis, thus, focuses on the wider policy infrastructure that centres upon securitisation and managerialism, with the result of a high incidence of irregularity.
