The book would not have been completed without the help and support of many people. I would like to express my gratitude to the many people who saw me through this book. I would like to especially thank Andreas Bieler and Pauline Eadie who have assisted the writing of my doctorate which this book is based on. I would like to thank Carol Tan for the support and valuable remarks that helped me develop the project and my arguments further. To all the staff and research students at the School of Politics and International Relations University of Nottingham who have provided invaluable insights throughout the writing of the book I extend my gratitude. I am truly grateful for the support of my friends from the University of Nottingham and the International Relations Department, Universitas Indonesia. Thanks to all the interviewees and resources, particularly migrant workers groups who have shared their views and opinions, and whose strength and spirit have inspired the research in this book. Thank you for officials from the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) and the Philippines Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) for their kind permission to use their materials. To my colleagues and staff at the Research and Community Engagement Office, Graduate School of Multidisciplinary Studies, Universitas Indonesia I am grateful for their understanding and support. I am also thankful to Dorothea Schaefter, Lily Brown and the team of editors at Routledge who have been persistent in trusting me with this project, despite the length of time it needed to finish. I would also like to thank my language editor, Rebekah Moore, who has stuck with the project through its ups and downs and whose meticulous comments and suggestions have been greatly appreciated. Lastly, to my family and husband I am sincerely grateful for their support.
