市场自由化从根本上改变了国家对一系列公共服务的服务供应和支持性基础设施的干预。虽然这一趋势已经有了比较好的记录，但对国家干预移民和流动性的性质变化的研究却很少。事实上，越来越多的移徙中介服务于移徙工人，特别是技术移民的多种多样的需求，这一问题在理论和经验上仍然严重缺乏研究。在分析移民中介机构的位置、作用和不断变化的性质时，我们强调了商业驱动的治理结构的影响。特别是，我们认为，从政府到网络治理的转变对技术移民有重要影响，包括更多地依赖（基本上不受监管）私人中介机构和可变的信息获取有关移民和劳动力市场一体化的过程。因此，我们提出了移民中介的实证例子，以说明他们的作用和他们与移民交流的关系和影响。
Market liberalisation has fundamentally changed state interventions in the supply of services and supportive infrastructure across a range of public services. While this trend has been relatively well documented, there has been a dearth of research into the changing nature of state interventions in migration and mobility. Indeed, the increasing presence of migration intermediaries to service the many and varied needs of migrant workers, particularly skilled migrants, remains significantly under-researched both theoretically and empirically. In providing an analysis of the location, role and changing nature of migration intermediaries, we highlight the implications of commercially driven governance structures. In particular, we suggest that the shift from government to network governance has important implications for skilled migration including greater dependence on (largely unregulated) private intermediaries and variable access to information regarding the process of migration and labour market integration. Accordingly, we present empirical examples of migration intermediaries to illustrate their role and the relationship with and implications of their exchange with migrants.
