DescriptionContentsResourcesCoursesAbout the Authors  This book explores the mobilities of capital and labour in the contemporary global economy, with a particular focus on Asia. Using an analytical framework around three dimensions related to the forms, institutions, and spatialities of mobility, the chapters use a variety of sub-national, national and transnational sites within and beyond Asia to examine the interrelationships between mobilities of capital and labour at multiple levels of analyses. The book foregrounds the intricate and persistent linkages between the two mobilities, which have played an important role in capitalist development, but have hitherto mostly been analyzed as separate processes.  Uses different geographical sites within Asia (China, Japan, India and Philippines, among others)  Is attentive to power dynamics at global, national and sub-national levels  Identifies various formal and informal institutional actors and explores the multiple ways in which they facilitate capital and labour mobilities
