Description
Development Subjectivities, Governmentality, and Migration Management in the Pacific provides a critical examination of how development interventions construct subjectivities and regulate migration patterns across Pacific island nations. The work explores the complex relationships between development discourse, governmental practices, and the lived experiences of migrants.
By analyzing governmentality frameworks, the book reveals how development programs shape individual behaviors, aspirations, and identities while simultaneously managing migration flows. It addresses the paradoxes of development-driven migration, where economic initiatives intended to reduce outmigration often facilitate it instead.
This Element contributes to debates in global development studies by centering Pacific perspectives and challenging Western-centric development paradigms. It offers valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding how power operates through development and migration management.
