ABSTRACT
This part follows the calls from the theorization section on the contextualization of Southeast Asia within a larger region as well as the differentiation within Southeast Asia itself. Related to contextualization and differentiation is the topic on migration. Migration studies is particularly established and has its own handbook in the Routledge series, but the chapters in this handbook are selected based on the strategic topics in response to the three patterns identified in the general introduction: rapid urban growth in globalizing societies and economies, social inequalities, and environmental degradation.
