Safe Migration and the Politics of Brokered Safety in Southeast Asia by Sverre Molland

Presenting a fresh angle within wider hostilities and ambivalences regarding migration polices worldwide, this book offers unprecedented insights into what safe migration may look like in practice.

Safe Migration and the Politics of Brokered Safety in Southeast Asia Reviews

Safe migration has become the new buzzword among both government and non-governmental organizations concerned with cross-border labour migration, including in Southeast Asia. Sverre Molland's monograph is the first book-length, critical academic treatment of the subject for the Southeast Asian region...The book undoubtedly provides much-needed critical insights into the emergence of safe migration as discourse, policy and practice.

--Sallie Yae, SOJOURN: Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia Vol. 38, No. 1 (2023)
