本文简要介绍了新加坡从一个多民族聚居的国家发展到一个多种族国家的背景，并着重探讨了在当前十年中，跨国劳动力流动在全球城市形成过程中的动态变化。它探讨了新加坡的外国劳工政策的分叉性质，以及如何短暂/永久划分是基于“技能”。一方面，合同工人被纳入东道国社会（同时被东道国社会禁止），结构性（非）纳入合同工人，导致已经严重边缘化和“灵活化”的工人处于弱势地位，在东道国社会中几乎没有工作保障和社会进步的机会。另一方面，建设一个全球化国家也需要有选择性的包容性项目，以吸引外国人才-高技能专业工人，技术企业家，企业家和投资者-以保持新加坡在全球竞赛中的地位。这些包容和排斥的差别政治将移民锁定在两个结构性决定的社会和经济部门，目前不可能相互渗透。版权所有（c）2006，荷兰皇家地理学会KNAG。
Following a brief background on Singapore's development from a product of overlapping diasporas to a multiracial nation, this paper gives attention to the dynamics of renewed streams of transnational labour flows in the current decade in the shaping of the global city. It examines the bifurcated nature of Singapore's foreign labour policies and how the transience/permanence divide is predicated on 'skill'. On the one hand, structural (non)incorporation of contract workers as they are inscribed into (and simultaneously proscribed by) the host society results in vulnerability among what are already heavily marginalised and 'flexibilised' workers with little job security and no opportunities for social advancement within the host society. On the other hand, building a nation in the image of globalisation also requires selectively inclusionist projects to entice foreign talent - highly skilled professional workers, technopreneurs, entrepreneurs and investors - in order to keep Singapore in the global race. These differential politics of inclusion and exclusion lock transmigrants into two structurally determined sectors of society and the economy, with, currently, no possibility of interpenetration.
