商品描述

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the evolving trends in South-South international migration to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It presents a comprehensive analysis of migration dynamics from the perspectives of nationals, non-nationals, policymakers, and prospective migrants. It highlights the multifaceted factors driving migration to the Gulf, including the transition from oil-dependent economies to knowledge-based industries and the shift from a reliance on low-wage migrant workers to the integration of highly skilled expatriates. It emphasizes the Gulf states as strategic destinations for the Arab and Asian middle classes, shaped by global dynamics such as the gig economy, cultural compatibility, and socio-economic instability in migrants' countries of origin.

Furthermore, the book offers a critical assessment of migration policies, focusing particularly on the inadequacies in safeguarding low-paid migrants, while challenging the prevailing notion that migration to the Gulf is temporary and primarily economically driven. Through an examination of new employment patterns, migration flows, and concepts of transnationalism, the book interrogates the future trajectories of Gulf societies. It is an indispensable resource for scholars interested in the region's transitions and future prospects.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書深入探討南南國際移民向海灣合作委員會（GCC）國家的演變趨勢。它從國籍、非國籍人士、政策制定者和潛在移民的角度，提供了對移民動態的全面分析。書中突顯了驅動移民前往海灣的多面因素，包括從依賴石油的經濟轉型為知識型產業，以及從依賴低薪移民工人轉向整合高技能外籍專業人士。它強調海灣國家作為阿拉伯和亞洲中產階級的戰略目的地，受到全球動態的影響，如零工經濟、文化相容性以及移民來源國的社會經濟不穩定性。

此外，本書對移民政策進行了批判性評估，特別關注在保障低薪移民方面的不足，同時挑戰了將移民視為臨時性且主要由經濟驅動的普遍觀念。通過對新就業模式、移民流動和跨國主義概念的研究，本書探討了海灣社會的未來走向。對於對該地區的轉型和未來前景感興趣的學者來說，這是一本不可或缺的資源。
