Abstract

This chapter introduces the key conceptual framework of the book and sets out the problems faced by temporary migrants in Australia that were revealed through the case studies carried out during the course of our research. We consider contemporary migration patterns at both a global and regional level (in the Asia-Pacific region) with reference to key literature on migrant transnationalism, labour mobility and the global market in tertiary education. The discussion explores the tension between mobility and security by considering the nexus of human (in)security, human rights and border control, with reference also to state practices that create insecurity by criminalising some border crossing activities and creating conditions conducive to the exploitation, marginalisation and victimisation of non-citizens.
