Mobility Regimes in the World-System
Mon, August 10, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This panel examines labor differentiation within mobility regimes through a political economy and world-system lens. Papers in this session analyze how states respond to demands and changes in global capital—such as decarbonization, import competition, migration—through case studies from China, South Korea, the Caribbean, United States, Germany, and Costa Rica. They highlight how global capital accumulation has informed and structured migration, citizenship, and labor regimes and how those impacted respond to this differentiation.
