"At a time when the centre of geopolitical gravity is decisively shifting towards Asia, this edited collection sheds light on an aspect largely overlooked, that of migration governance analyzed in its local, national and regional dimensions. Written by leading experts on the topic, the book contributes to our understanding of contemporary dynamics in Asia and of its implications for the West."---Nicola Casarini, Associate fellow, Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI)
