Reconceptualization of Citizenship for Migrant Workers in the Global Era: Cases of Canada and Korea

Abstract

Through the critical analysis on citizenship discourse, this paper argues that contemporary migrant workers in the world have suffered and their rights have been restricted in various layers of social, cultural and global relations. While migrant workers share disadvantages with other marginalized groups in the host societies, they experience further tensions at both local and global levels. Two cases of migrant worker difficulties in Canada and Korea are addressed as evidence. Supra-national discourse on the rights and obligations of human beings, such as global citizenship and a feminist approach to citizenship, strengthen the author's argument that migrant workers deserve a form of differentiated membership that fits both local and global contexts of work in this era.
