This book focuses on the experiences of temporary movements
between Asia and Europe from the perspective of migrants and
mobile people. It raises important questions such as: Why do
people migrate on a temporary basis and what does this actually
mean? How are these trajectories shaped? What are the
implications of temporary moves for migrants and non-migrants?
And how are transnational ties and practices characterized in the
context of temporary migration?

By shedding light on the practices and experiences of individual
migrants, the book provides useful insights into understanding
the challenges arising in an increasingly interconnected and
mobile world. The chapters indicate that temporary migratory
movements are on the rise: on the one hand on a voluntary basis
such as reflected in labour migration, lifestyle migration and
international student mobility, and on the other hand in an
involuntary way as expressed in different forms of forced
migration. Either way, temporary migration has diverse political.
legal, economic, social and cultural implications, including the
emergence of novel transnational networks and practices.
