Synopsis: Although they vary in methodological and topical entrance, the ten papers presented in this text are unified, suggest the editors (of the Monterey Institute of International Studies), in their concern with such basic questions of cross-border migration in Northeast Asia as the contribution of migration to regional identity, the possibilities of multilateral cooperation in responding to migration, and the impact of migration on the security concerns of governments and peoples of the region. Specific topics include perceptions of costs and benefits among Chinese migrants and their host governments; the interaction of Russian and Chinese residents with provincial communities in Japan; issues of cultural identity, social assimilation, and generational change among Korean communities in Japan; human security concerns of Koreans in China; immigration and emigration issues in South Korea; and the evolution of immigration policy in Mongolia.
