- "Despite being long-term hosts to refugee populations, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are not yet part of the 1951 Refugee Convention. In all three states, refugees are regulated as discretionary humanitarian exceptions to immigration legislation. With contributions from scholars within and outside the region, this book promotes new thinking on protection of refugees and on resolving tensions between states, actors and institutions in the region. It evaluates the key concepts of sovereignty, security and humanitarianism in this context, the different bases of protection by state and non-state actors and the meaning of responsibility and regionalism in Southeast Asia."

- "The theme of SAMR 2023, ‘Remittances, Resilience, and Rehabilitation,’ reflects the post-pandemic migration landscape’s critical areas. This volume presents a collection of chapters aiming to provide a nuanced understanding of contemporary South Asian migration, especially post-COVID-19. It delves
into themes like remittances, resilience, reintegration, social mobility, climate change, and gender dynamics in migration. The chapters offer insights into migration crises, such as the Rohingyas in Bangladesh, challenges faced by internal migrants during COVID-19, and gender dynamics in circular
migration in the Sundarbans."
