Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Cross-border migration for the purpose of marriage is on the rise, and at present it constitutes one of the most common forms of long-term international mobility in East Asia. The articles included here demonstrate that marriage migration has attracted considerable policy attention and public anxiety not because it is about “marriage†or “migration†per se, but because it is perceived to be inseparable from a wide range of other issues, such as sexual morality, family norms, national identity, and border security.
