Migration, Unequal Citizens, and Critical Legal Studies, MOE SPROUT 2.0 “Conflict, Justice, Decolonization 2.0: Asia in Transition in the 21st Century“
We begin with the issue of "borders, logistics, and unequal lives” in the time of COVID-19 as an introduction to extend the series of research projects.
The first five-year ICCS project, “Unequal Citizens and Legal Reform in the Inter-Asian Context” (2018-2022), has discussed the theme of “Conflict, Justice, and Decolonization” to understand the crux of the problem from the scene of social conflict from the perspective of transnational migration and labor mobility. Our shared concerns include the different forms of social conflict and inequality in third-world countries within the global context. We paid particular attention to the issues of refugees, mobile laborers, stateless persons, and human trafficking under mass migration. We discussed the formation of severely excluded discrimination, oppression, and violence as expressed in laws and institutions in different societies. However, the international labor migration under globalization constantly faces exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking, particularly in Asia-Pacific.
The second five-year project (2023-2027) will focus on analyzing the forced labor risks in the global supply chain and addressing effective practices for eliminating forced labor, including law enforcement strategy. Our project will continue to deepen the transnational cooperation with research institutions, research scholars, and non-governmental organizations to develop more significant contributions to labor rights and access to justice for migrant workers, stateless populations, and undocumented workers. We orient our project toward a critical legal study in terms of empirical cases and emancipatory articulation of particular fundamental concepts, including citizenship.

Logistical rationality of migration management: Forced human mobility and immobility in the age of pandemic-The CHCI Global Humanities Institute 2020 has implemented different webinar series on the topic of “Migration, Logistics and Unequal Citizens in the Global context” which this tripartite structure, “migration, logistics and unequal citizens,” are the pressing question that our institute would like to address. In the series, speakers tried to address the geopolitical and historical conditions behind the practice of the lockdown during COVID-19.Chasing back to the history, the state of the migrant workers are used to be neighbouring countries in the same kingdom during the C commerce period, now become excluded and separated as “enemies” or “slaves”. Since ‘the citizenship could be differentiated in a post-colonial state-building process’,As one of the speakers, Liu, suggested, it is necessary to push forward for new concepts or reconceptualize the common sense of citizenship, to protect the people who live and work there and they should enjoy equal access to essential space. Furthermore, she reminds us that we need to expose the colonial power and theoretical produce behind the lockdown and the civil war mentality. Last but not least, the notion of common needs to be reinvented with the alternative logistics for the common.Powered by Firstory Hosting
