Over the past decades, Global Asia has developed through expanding inter- and intra-regional connections, driven by the movement of people, capital, goods, and ideas across borders. Migration and its governance play a central role in these processes, highlighting how Asia is shaped not only through nation-states and regional frameworks but also through cross-border networks, sub-ethnic communities, and broader ecosystems of exchange. Recent geopolitical and economic shifts—including the rise of China and India, changes in global supply chains, and the increasing influence of technology, finance, and media—further underscore the importance of scholarly engagement with these dynamics.
