Abstract

COVID-19 has resulted in new anxieties about the risks and dangers involved in human mobility and forced governments to simultaneously re-engineer policies for temporary health control and longer-term border-crossing and migration policies; characterized by the sanitization of space and mobility. This special issue considers the policies, including health and non-health measures, that have impacts on migrant workers and migration. While COVID control measures are often phrased in medical language and policy discourses, they often serve multiple goals including political and social control. The papers in this issue cover different places in Asia and the Pacific. We propose the "politics of sanitization" as a conceptual framework to examine the multiple dimensions of state governance and the variegated impacts upon migrants, including: (1) sanitizing space and borders, (2) stigmatization and sanitizing migrants' bodies, (3) sanitizing ethnic borders and the national body, and (4) reorganizing the borders of sanitization and membership of society.

消毒政治：亚太地区的流行病危机、移民与发展。

COVID-19 引发了人们对人口流动风险和危险的新焦虑，迫使各国政府同时重新制定临时卫生控制政策以及长期的过境和移民政策；这些政策的特点是对空间和流动性进行消毒。本特刊探讨了对移徙工人和移徙产生影响的政策，包括卫生和非卫生措施。虽然 COVID 控制措施通常以医学语言和政策论述的方式表述，但这些措施往往具有多重目的，包括政治和社会控制。本期论文涉及亚太地区的不同地方。我们提出了 "消毒政治 "这一概念框架，以考察国家治理的多个层面及其对移民的不同影响，包括：（1）空间和边界的消毒，（2）移民身体的污名化和消毒，（3）种族边界和国家身体的消毒，以及（4）消毒边界和社会成员资格的重组。
