Intersections of Inequality, Migration and Diversification
This book examines the relationship between migration, diversification and inequality in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The authors advance a view of migration as a diversifying force, arguing that it is necessary to grapple with the intersection of group identities, state policy and economic opportunities as part of the formation of inequalities that have deep historical legacies and substantial future implications. Exploring evidence for inequality amongst migrant populations, the book also addresses the role of multicultural politics and migration policy in entrenching inequalities, and the consequences of migrant inequalities for political participation, youth development and urban life.
Neoliberal Policies and Inequality
This book explores the discourse on urban and regional inequality within the framework of neoliberalism. It analyzes the widespread application of neoliberal policies in Asian city regions and identifies their influence on rising inequality. The book captures inequality through spatial and non-spatial policy narratives with empirical evidence from India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. The book uses analytics, narratives and simulation to unfold the opportunities and threats to urban regions that bear the impacts of globalization and neoliberal policies. Lucid and topical, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of urban economics, urban and regional planning, urban studies, urban sociology, political economy, public policy, governance, development studies and Asian economy.
New Chinese Immigrants in New Zealand
This book focuses on new immigrant families from the People’s Republic of China to New Zealand and investigates how these families have adapted to New Zealand immigration policy regime, which does not accommodate their cultural preference to live as multigenerational families easily. The book analyses a three-generation framework: First-generation adult immigrants, their children and older parents. It examines how migratory mobility and intergenerational dynamics configure migratory trajectories of individual family members and shape their family lives and sense of identity. The book sheds light on how different family generations pursue their own interests and goals while maintaining family unity and cohesiveness in contexts of increasing transnational mobility opportunities and constraints. It also investigates how familial ties, transnational connections and a sense of identity and belonging are defined and redefined during the process of transnational migration. This book can serve as a heuristic reference to and meaningful comparative parameter for studying transnational family migration in other contexts. As a significant theoretical contribution to the theory of transnational family formation in contexts where restrictive immigration policies result in members of multigenerational families living across different countries, this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of sociology, anthropology, race and ethnic studies as well as Asian and Chinese studies.
