DESCRIPTION:In April 2022\, the Taiwanese government introduced the "forei
 gn mid-skilled workers program\," which allows blue-collar migrant worker
 s who have worked in the "national development industries" (including agr
 iculture\, fishery\, manufacture\, construction\, and elder care) for mor
 e than six years to apply for permeant residency. For many immigration sc
 holars\, this program is considered a policy breakthrough for the traditi
 onally low-skilled migrant workers to have legal access to long-term sett
 lements in Taiwan. It also begs the question: why\, after more than 30 ye
 ars of guest worker programs\, did Taiwan decide to offer membership righ
 ts to migrant workers?\n\nBuilding on James F. Hollifield's (2004) theory
  of the "migration state" and Erin Aeran Chung's (2022) theory of the Eas
 t Asian "developmental migration state\," this talk investigates the poli
 cy mechanisms and political debates of the "mid-skilled" migrant worker p
 olicies in Taiwan. \n\nSpecifically\, Chien highlights the institutional 
 contexts that shape how a country designs and reforms its migrant worker 
 policies. She argues that the institutional legacy of the "developmental 
 state" in Taiwan provides an important foundation for policy reforms for 
 migrant workers. She also demonstrates how the development of migrant wor
 ker policies reflects the legacies of earlier policy decisions by illumin
 ating the political actors with access to the policymaking process. \n\nT
 he paper is based on archival research and 20 personal interviews with go
 vernment bureaucrats\, policymakers\, and migrant worker activists in Tai
 wan. The findings of this research contribute to the growing literature o
 n the migration state and challenge conventional understandings of migran
 t care worker policy as formal and static. Instead\, Chien suggests polic
 ies are an organic process\, modified and contested as part of a politica
 l process.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nYi-Chun Chien (PhD\, University of Toro
 nto) is an assistant professor of political science at the College of Soc
 ial Science at National Chengchi University (NCCU)\, Taiwan. Her teaching
  and research interests focus on the politics of international migration\
 , social welfare\, comparative politics\, global migration governance\; c
 are migration\; the comparative welfare state\;  social policy in East As
 ia\; and gender politics. Before joining NCCU\, she was a postdoctoral fe
 llow at the School of Political Studies and research chair in Taiwan Stud
 ies at the University of Ottawa.
