Pacific Affairs is pleased to announce that the ninth William L. Holland Prize for the best article published in Volume 83 (2010) of Pacific Affairs has been awarded to Erin Aeran Chung for her article published in Volume 83 No.4, December 2010, pp. 675-696
Workers or Residents? Diverging Patterns of Immigrant Incorporation in Korea and Japan
In this year’s Holland Prize winning article, Erin Aeran Chung analyses immigrant incorporation policy variances in South Korea and Japan using a range of sources. She shows how long-term civil society strategies and tactics created a foundation for current incorporation programs that predates the more recent policy recognition of the issue. Highlighting the value of comparative analysis and historical perspective, the article provides new insights on the study of migration, citizenship, incorporation, and belonging not just in the two countries compared, but for the larger Asia and Pacific.
Erin Aeran Chung is the Charles D. Miller Assistant Professor of East Asian Politics and Co-Director of the Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship Program in the Department of Political Science at the Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of Immigration and Citizenship in Japan (Cambridge University Press, 2010).
