The concept of citizenship is fluid and constructed. State actors, societal actors, and courts play important roles in the construction and reconstruction of formal, substantive, and differentiated citizenship. The recent arrival of transnational gendered migration from neighboring countries to East and Southeast Asia challenges preexisting assumptions about how political communities are defined and how new members should be treated. This introductory chapter proposes an analytical framework to understand the politics of citizenship and transnational gendered migration within the context of East and Southeast Asia.

Politiques de la citoyenneté et migrations transnationales basées sur la différence sexuelle en Asie de l’Est et du Sud-Est

La notion de citoyenneté est une notion fluide et fabriquée. Les acteurs gouvernementaux et sociaux ainsi que les tribunaux jouent un rôle primordiale dans la construction et la reconstruction de la citoyenneté, celle-ci étant à la fois officielle, substantielle et différencielle. L’arrivée récente de migrations transnationales basées sur la différence sexuelle en provenance de pays avoisinants d’ Asie de l’Est et du Sud-Est, défie les préjugés pré-existants sur la manière dont les groupements politiques sont définis et dont les nouveaux adhérents devraient être traîtés. Le chapitre préliminaire soumet un schéma détaillé afin de mieux comprendre les politiques de la citoyenneté et des migrations transnationales basées sur la différence sexuelle dans le contexte asiatique.
