Yasemin Nuho?lu Soysal - Transnational Trajectories in East Asia: Nation, Citizenship, and Region

Since the late twentieth century, East Asia has become increasingly interconnected through trade, investment, migration, and popular culture at regional and global levels. At the same time, the region has seen renewed national assertiveness and nationalist impulses. Transnational Trajectories in East Asia interrogates these seemingly contradictory developments as they bear on the transformations of the nation and citizenship. Conventionally, studies on East Asia juxtapose these developments, focusing on the much-exercised dichotomy of the national and transnational. In contrast, this book suggests a different orientation. First, it moves beyond the simplistic view that demarcates the transnational as the West. Second, it does not view the national and transnational as distinct or contradictory spheres of influence and analysis, but rather, focuses on the interactions between the two, with a view on how these interactions work to transform the ideals and practices of the good nation, good society, and good citizen. The book covers a broad empirical terrain education, science, immigration, multicultural policy, human rights, gender and youth orientations, art and food flows, politics of values and regional identity which foreground the ways in which the nation is reconfigured, and the relationship between the citizen and (national) collective is redefined, in relation to transnational dynamics and frameworks. Featuring a novel perspective and analysis of transnational processes, Transnational Trajectories in East Asia is an insightful account of transformations of the nation and citizenship in the region.
