Description
Igor Saveliev is Associate Professor at the Graduate School of International Development of Nagoya University (Japan). He holds a Ph.D. in history from St. Petersburg State University and Nagoya University. His research is focused on human migrations and immigration policies in East Asia. Currently he heads a research project on Korean diasporas in the former Soviet Union and PRC. He is the author of “Migration and State:
Chinese, Korean and Japanese in the Russian Far East, 1860-1917” (Tokyo, 2005, in Japanese) and co-editor and contributor of “Globalizing Chinese Migration” (Ashgate, 2002).
The talk will focus on the transformation of Japanese and Korean immigration policies in the 1990s – 2000s and will show how these policies affected the formation of migrant communities in these two countries (Central Asians in the South Korea and Latin Americans in Japan). The presentation will be based on the materials of the field work conducted in Korea and Japan in 2007-2008 and various Japanese, Korean and English sources.
