Irregular migrants and political belonging in global cities

该项目调查了亚太地区三个城市的非正常移民的影响。随着澳大利亚在太平洋诸国安全和发展中的作用增强，这些联系很可能会导致非正常的劳动力流动。这可能会加剧澳大利亚围绕多元文化主义和国家认同的紧张局势，这些问题最近在暴力公共骚乱以及关于边境保护、移民和客工计划的辩论中浮出水面。该项目将借鉴区域和澳大利亚非正常移民的经验，为公民身份、移民和全球化这些突出问题的政策和政治问题提供信息。

This project investigates impacts of irregular migration in three cities in the Asia-Pacific region. As Australia's role in security and development in Pacific states increases, there is every possibility that irregular labour migration may flow from these ties. This is likely to exacerbate tensions in Australia around multiculturalism and national identity that have surfaced recently in violent public disturbances and in debates on border protection, migration and guest-worker schemes. This project will draw on regional and Australian experiences of irregular migration to inform policy and political questions on these prominent issues of citizenship, migration and globalisation.
