Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies
A Talk by Erin Aeran Chung, Department of Political Science, Johns Hopkins University
How do we explain the different ways Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have tried incorporating immigrants into their societies? With similar immigration and citizenship policies, they share a common struggle of accommodating social diversity while adhering to liberal democratic principles when dealing with immigrants from neighboring Asian countries. While exploring these issues, this talk will also examine the role civil society plays in giving voice to migrant interests, mobilizing migrant actors, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration.
