| Summary |
"State/Nation/Transnation challenges the assumption that transnational movements herald the death of the nation-state per se, arguing rather that they involve a reconfiguration." "This book takes as its main theme the interconnections between conceptions of the state, the nation and the transnation as they are played out in the Asia-Pacific arena - one of the globe's most prominent regions in terms of human mobility and migrations. Grounded in in-depth research, each chapter explores the productive possibilities of the tensions between the nation-state and the transnation. It concludes that while there is potential for transnational forms of activity to challenge the existing power structures of the nation-state, it is also clear that existing axes of power and influence are often maintained, or are reinscribed in new ways." |

"Containing both theoretical chapters and detailed case studies, this volume will interest students and researchers of migration, the Asia-Pacific and the future of the nation-state."--BOOK JACKET |
