Contrary to the prevailing assumption that Japanese social, cultural and legal citizenship confers greater transnational competencies and flexibility, these families intentionally secure their children's Chinese legal status, enrol them in local Chinese schools and cultivate deep Chinese linguistic and cultural proficiency. Parents view these choices, not Japanese citizenship or schooling, as more effective means of broadening educational and career trajectories and preserving flexible, future-oriented opportunities. These practices reflect a deliberate strategy to manage geopolitical and economic uncertainty by anchoring children's experiences in China and treating Chinese legal, social and cultural citizenship as key resources for transnational competence and adaptability.

Culinary actors resist McDonaldization not only through gastronationalist reflexes, but through alternative food networks bypassing agro-industrial supply chains for direct smallholder procurement. Three theoretical contributions are advanced: first, hybridity is the foundational condition of culinary culture in post-imperial societies, rendering the homogenization–heterogenization binary insufficient; second, DeSoucey's gastronationalism is provincialized beyond its EU context, showing resistance operates through informal networks and agrarian–urban solidarities without regulatory scaffolding; third, the agrarian–urban solidarity matrix reframes the supply chain – rather than the kitchen – as the primary site of culinary resistance.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148943589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, less attention has been paid to how digitally mediated work intersects with immigration systems that regulate settlement, labour market incorporation and belonging. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 50 migrant workers engaged in gig and remote work in Canada, this article examines how digitally mediated labour complicates migrants’ experiences of integration within Canada's multi-step immigration regime. Engaging literature on digital work, migrant incorporation and liminality, the article conceptualizes ambiguity as a condition emerging at the intersection of digitally mediated employment and temporally conditional migration pathways. Although digitally mediated work does facilitate transnational connections and flexible forms of employment, it also weakens access to workplace sociality, professional networks, and forms of ‘Canadian experience’ often associated with long-term integration and permanent residence pathways. The findings show how migrants experience overlapping spatial, affective and temporal ambiguities as they navigate remote and gig work alongside uncertain immigration trajectories. By examining how digitally mediated work reshapes processes of settlement and belonging, this article contributes to debates on migration, digital economy and the changing relationship between work, mobility and incorporation in contemporary immigration regimes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148784263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the basis of qualitative interviews with agents, regulatory authorities and NGO representatives in Singapore and Indonesia, we theorise recruitment agents as debt-financed migration infrastructure. The capacity of Singapore-based agents to bear and pass on debt accommodates low-level corruption in Indonesia and advances to the migrant's family to secure recruitment. Agents manage the risks of debt through investing in phatic labour and relationship upkeep, recasting business partnerships through the regime of friendship.

While nearly all dimensions align positively with expert governance, only institutional cosmopolitanism (entailing support for political supranationalism and economic globalization) is connected to significant and consistent support for representative government.

While these studies provide valuable insights into the structure of international investment, they reveal little about how the configuration of countries’ immediate investment relationships influences development and resilience. This study addresses this gap by analysing the local FDI network neighbourhoods of 172 countries using annual IMF Coordinated Direct Investment Survey (CDIS) data for 2009–2024. Local network structure is characterised using measures of effective size, density and hierarchy, capturing diversity, embeddedness and concentration in countries’ inward and outward investment relationships. Two-way fixed-effects panel models demonstrate that the developmental implications of local network structure vary systematically across stages of development. Developing economies benefit from diverse outward investment neighbourhoods and dense inward investment communities, suggesting that access to heterogeneous external opportunities and embeddedness within investor networks both contribute to development. Local network effects are generally weaker in least-developed economies, consistent with constraints on the ability to exploit investment network opportunities. In advanced economies, outward investment structure is more important than inward investment structure, with dense and concentrated outward investment neighbourhoods associated with weaker development outcomes. These findings underline the importance of local FDI network structure for understanding economic development and resilience and suggest that policies should consider not only the volume of FDI but also the configuration of countries’ investment relationships.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70068","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148753046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focussing on the relational and institutional fabric underlying brokerage, this paper sheds light on the unique positionality of brokers, constructed vis-à-vis their interactions with the state and its regulatory framework on the one hand, and with the socially distant dyad, that is, the migrant worker and employer, which is essential to necessitating brokerage in the first place. Using qualitative research conducted in the Nepal–Malaysia migration corridor, the study reveals that the socio-structural location of brokers, in relation to the state, migrants and employers, embeds brokerage practices, generating both opportunities and vulnerabilities for migrant workers. To illustrate this, I introduce the case of ‘run-away’ migrants in the chosen corridor and compare two vignettes to analyse the responses of migration brokers to the act of migrants running away from their place of work. This analysis shows how brokerage as a practice is a product of an underlying social and institutional space, wherein framing networks of gain, trust and control are critical in conceptualising brokerage and its outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
