This book addresses immigration within and towards Taiwan from the perspectives of (among others) the state, immigrant organizations, the Taiwanese NGO movement, and youth literature. Including a comparative perspective, the book's contributions are based both on empirical research and interviews, and on the application of international theoretical frameworks to the case of Taiwan, while highlighting the specific Taiwanese example and experience.
