Transnational Marriage and the State*

A panel proposal for SEASREP 10th Anniversary Conference (8-9 Dec.
Chiang Mai, Thailand). Deadline: Full papers by 30 October 2005

Brief description:

Growth in the number of transnational marriages along with the intensification of transnational family networks is becoming more and more visible in Asia. At the same time, we also observe the increasing restrictions imposed on this form of migration by states. This panel will examine the impact of structural factors -- the politics of legal recognition, logistical barriers to rights, and the issues ofcitizenship -- in the context of transnational marriages, i.e. marriages between individuals of different nationalities.
