Troubled Transport从多个角度考虑在印度尼西亚陷入困境的寻求庇护者的情况。它不仅反映了许多过境移民的情况，而且也反映了印度尼西亚当局以及负责照顾过境寻求庇护者的国际组织和非政府组织代表的看法。被寻求庇护者在通常漫长而危险的旅程中所表现出的非凡而看似无限的韧性所吸引，作者强调了他们在印度尼西亚的旅程中的一个特殊片段，许多人认为这是通往新生活的最后一块垫脚石。虽然他们渴望新生活的展开，但大多数寻求庇护者却卷入了过境生活的复杂性。印度尼西亚是一个由1.7万多个岛屿组成的巨大群岛，它不仅仅是一个人们等待的地方；它是一个与过境寻求庇护者互动的民族国家，它制定的政策对他们在那里的过境经历产生了深远的影响。麻烦交通试图在印尼政府及其政治挑战的背景下解释过境移民面临的复杂性，包括印尼与澳大利亚的关系。以澳大利亚为中心的观点对最近的寻求庇护者问题往往忽视了移民路线的更大社会政治背景，以及过境国对滞留在过境中的寻求庇护者的看法。这本书希望引导以澳大利亚为中心的目光向北，考虑印尼的政策和政策制定，从而使印尼作为过境国和区域保护计划和移民管理的重要合作伙伴具有更大的相关性。尽管印度尼西亚的一些政策和做法对寻求庇护者不利，甚至从人权角度来看应受到谴责，但如果要减轻寻求庇护者在印度尼西亚所遭受的任何困难，就必须更多地关注当前的事态发展，这些事态发展对在印度尼西亚过境的寻求庇护者产生影响。
Troubled Transit considers the situation of asylum seekers stuck in limbo in Indonesia from a number of perspectives. It presents not only the narratives of many transit migrants but also the perceptions of Indonesian authorities and of representatives of international and non-government organizations responsible for the care of transiting asylum seekers. Fascinated by the extraordinary and seemingly limitless resilience shown by asylum seekers during their often lengthy and dangerous journeys, the author highlights one particular fragment of their journeys their time in Indonesia, which many expect to be the last stepping stone to a new life. While they long for their new life to unfold, most asylum seekers become embroiled in the complexities of living in transit. Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, is more than a location where people spend time waiting; it is a nation state that interacts with transiting asylum seekers and formulates policies that have a profound impact on their experience in transit there. Troubled Transit tries to explain the complexities faced by the transiting migrants within the context of the Indonesian government and its political challenges, including its relationship with Australia. The Australia-centric view of recent asylum seeker issues has tended to ignore the larger socio-political context of the migratory routes and the perspectives of transit states towards asylum seekers stuck in transit. This book hopes to direct the Australia-centric gaze northwards to take Indonesian policies and policymaking into account, thereby giving Indonesia more relevance as a transit country and as an important partner in regional protection schemes and migration management. Even though some Indonesian policies and practices are less than favourable for asylum seekers, and even reprehensible from a human rights perspective, more attention must be paid to ongoing developments that impact on transiting asylum seekers in Indonesia if any of the hardships they suffer there are to be alleviated.
