Drawing from a study of Bangladeshi construction workers in Singapore, as well as on comparative material in the region, Bal shows that migrant labour politics are significantly influenced by the specific form of production politics as well as their variable outcomes. In contrast to contentious politics approaches, this book sheds light on the extent to which migrant labour regimes can be contested by workers and civil society groups and explains the recent rise in migrant labour unrest in the region.  .Critical Studies of the Asia-Pacific,2662-2238AsiaPolitics and governmentEmigration and immigrationInternational economic relationsAsiaEconomic conditionsLabor economicsAsian PoliticsHuman MigrationInternational Political Economy’Asian EconomicsLabor EconomicsAsiaPolitics and government.Emigration and immigration.International economic relations.AsiaEconomic conditions.Labor economics.Asian Politics.Human Migration.International Political Economy’.Asian Economics.Labor Economics.331.544095Bal Charanpal Singhauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058477BOOK9910255325003321Production Politics and Migrant Labour Regimes2500230UNINA
