Despite active scholarly interest in the phenomenon of
cross-border marriage migration between Southeast and East
Asia—a majority of which marriages are between men from
wealthier regions and women from regions that are less
economically developed—we know very little about who these
women are and why they choose to marry and migrate. This volume
provides an overview of the demographic patterns and social
issues related to cross-border marriage in the past two
decades, as well as case studies that consider the living
experiences and strategies of cross-border families in the host
societies, sending communities, and transnational networks of
nations like Japan, South, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.
