“…We argue that successive Korean governments, developing policies within a social investment framework, have actively sought female marriage migrants to perform those roles and have supported them to do so. In this way, we suggest, marriage migrants’ social reproductive role can be understood as vital to the reproduction of the nation, just as feminist scholars have argued that the care work of “citizen‐mothers” can be understood (Roseneil et al., ; Yuval‐Davis and Anthias (Eds), ; Yuval‐Davis, ;). Analysed from this perspective, marriage migrants’ procreation and care for children as a new generation of future citizens serves to legitimize their comparatively privileged position as migrants within Korea's political and social citizenship regime.…”

This article seeks to contribute to understandings of South Korea's approach to marriage migration. Situating our analysis of marriage migration policy specifically within the recent emergence of a social investment approach to welfare, we bring together two bodies of literature that due to the methodological nationalism of much welfare state scholarship are usually treated separately. Through an examination of the policy framework governing marriage migration -so-called 'multicultural family policies' -we find that successive Korean governments have actively sought female marriage migrants to perform various social reproductive roles as a means to secure the reproductive capacity of the nation, just as feminist scholars have argued the care work of citizen-mothers can be understood. Our analysis also suggests that marriage migration policy in Korea constitutes a distinctly transnational dimension to its overall social investment approach, which is strongly motivated by concerns to reproduce the next generation of human capital.

“…Migrant women's work of inscription illuminates a crucial dynamic that “membership of, and belonging to, states, nations, societies and, thus of ‘citizenship itself’” begins with the “technological realties of natality” (Roseneil et al. , 901), instead of a shared common heritage. Their aspiration to produce and preserve proof of their children's birth speaks urgently to the real need for “conceiving the new world order” (Ginsburg and Rapp ) that can preempt the creation of stateless children.…”

The Work of Inscription: Antenatal Care, Birth Documents, and Shan Migrant Women in Chiang Mai

For transnational migrant populations, securing birth documents of newly born children has crucial importance in avoiding statelessness for new generations. Drawing on discussions of sovereignty and political subjectivization, I ask how the fact of birth is constituted in the context of transnational migration. Based on ethnographic data collected from an antenatal clinic in Thailand, this article describes how Shan migrant women from Myanmar (also known as Burma) utilize reproductive health services as a way of assuring a safe birth while acquiring identification documents. Paying close attention to technologies of inscription adopted for maternal care and birth registration, I argue that enacting bureaucratic documents offers a chance for migrant women to bridge the interstice between human and citizen. Birth certificates for migrant children, while embodying legal ambiguity and uncertainty, epitomize non-citizen subjects' assertion of their political relationship with the state.

“…The literature on exclusion works against elements of this commitment. Through interlocutors with security and border studies (Muller 2004;Nyers 2009; also see Guillaume and Huysmans 2013), critical approaches to migration (Mezzadra and Neilson 2013;Papadopoulos, Stephenson, and Tsianos 2008) as well as (post)colonial (Rigo 2005), gender and queer theory (Roseneil et al 2013), there is now a relatively large body of work exploring citizenship as an inherently exclusive mode of political subjectivity (Hindess 2004). Through both legalistic and normative definitions, the case is presented that the citizen has been scripted as a liberal, white, bourgeois, heterosexual, man and this inherently leads to the powerful hierachisation and securitisation of others (Basham and Vaughan-Williams 2013).…”
