Essay II: In the recorded lecture by Dr. Joon-Kon Chung in Week 1, the idea of the Asian Community—a borderless One Asia—is articulated and re-imagined. Throughout this quarter, we have discussed various issues relevant to this idea primarily through the lens of intra-Asian migrations and diaspora-homeland interactions. What are the challenges and opportunities of building an integrated Asian community in the era of rapid globalization and frequent cross-border movements? Please discuss: a) Why do nation-states relax or enforce their borders for human movements? b) What role do nation-states, migration intermediaries, diasporic networks, and individual migrants play to facilitate or inhibit cross-border movements? c) Is it possible to build an integrated Asian community today or in the near future (why it is or why it isn’t)?
