title: Economic internationalization:  the new migration in Japan and the United States.
abstract: "The general proposition argued in this paper is that international migrations are embedded in larger social, economic and political processes.... The first section of the paper addresses the impact of economic internationalization on the formation of new immigration flows into the U.S.  during the last 25 years.  The second section examines both the magnitude and forms of Japan's recent economic presence in South and Southeast Asia.  The third and fourth sections briefly review questions of policy in the U.S.  and Japan during the last few years.... The fifth section conveys evidence of illegal immigration to Japan.  The sixth section discusses conditions in receiving countries that make possible the adaptation of immigrants with a view to understanding how illegal immigrants in Japan could become part of the Japanese economy involving Japanese employers deeply steeped in an anti-immigration culture."
