Border Controls and the Movement of People in a Globalizing Asia-Pacific Region: A Cross-National Study of Four Evolving Control Regimes

该项目考察了亚太地区四个国家--澳大利亚、日本、印度尼西亚和马来西亚--的新兴边境管制制度。与传统的边界形象不同，它将国家边界视为复杂的社会现实，并认为边界的位置？正日益在这个民族国家的领土内外扩散。因此，它有助于就全球化及其与移徙和国家权力的关系进行重要的理论辩论，同时还提供与该区域各国在人员跨界流动问题上的合作直接相关的信息。

This project examines emerging border-control regimes in four countries of the Asia-Pacific region - Australia, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Shifting away from traditional images of frontiers, it treats national borders as complex social realities, and argues that the location of ?borders? is increasingly becoming diffused within and outside the territory of the nation state. It thus contributes to important theoretical debates about globalization and its relationship to migration and national power, while also presenting information directly relevant to cooperation between the nations of the region on issues related to the cross-border movement of people.
