“…According to Agamben, some people who physically live in the sovereign territory are denied their socio-political existence unless they are recognized by states (1998, p. 88). This is what subsequent scholars call the "power of citizenship regimes" that confer life and privilege to some (Butt, 2018, p. 130, referring to Fassin, 2011. In this line of arguments, attribution of nationality at birth is only half of the story; people must prove their entitlement to their nationality, such as the completion of a birth registration form ( van Waas, 2007, p. 447).…”

“…Theories in this line moved their concerns from forced displacement because of crises to “displacement in situ” through legal, bureaucratic means (Belton, , p. 15; Bhabha, , p. 415; Lubkemann, , p. 455). In their arguments, some scholars draw attention to the risk of statelessness that exists among children of precarious, cheap, and flexible migrant workers, regardless of whether the children were born in receiving countries (Allerton, , , ; Constable, ; Suzuki, , ), or left behind in sending countries (Ball et al, ; Beazley, Butt, & Ball, ). Indeed, from the perspective of citizenship and statelessness, the new global cultural economy must be seen as complex, overlapping, and disjunctive, transcending center‐periphery models (Appadurai, , p. 32).…”

This article offers a review of the literature on transnational labor regimes and statelessness to pursue further theorization from East and Southeast Asian contexts. The main focus is on how local norms (local sense of belonging, local moral code, and local hierarchies) are entangled with national-level citizenship regimes to legitimate the discrimination of certain people to be statelessness and secure lowwage migrant workers for the new global labor regime. First, traditional literature on citizenship and statelessness was reviewed; binary theoretical frameworks (including citizens/ excluding non-citizens) based on political recognition were indicated as the main limitations. Second, recent theories arguing for an intersection between national citizenship regimes and a new global labor regime were reviewed. Third, recent theories that illuminate the importance of local contexts in determining citizens' rights were reviewed based on formal exclusion and informal inclusion as well as formal inclusion and informal exclusion. Finally, it was concluded that further theorization is needed on how citizenship regimes and local norms intersect to produce statelessness, securing low-wage migrant workers for the global labor regime through the global assemblages approach.

“…Furthermore, despite the national narrative, migration is not a wholly positive experience for children, even when parents are able to send back remittances. Children left behind are extremely vulnerable and although some can exercise agency and seek work outside their villages, this is not a common nor risk-free choice (Beazley et al 2018).…”

This paper reflects the findings of the first phase of the REJUVENATE project, which set out to understand and map approaches to integrating children, youth, and community participation in child rights initiatives. We did this through a scoping of existing practitioner and academic literature (developing a project-based literature review matrix), a mapping of key actors, and the development of a typology of existing approaches. All three of these elements were brought together into a ‘living archive’, which is an evolving database that currently comprises 100 matrices, and a ‘collection’ of key field practitioners (many of whom we have interviewed for this project). In this paper we: (1) present a user-friendly summary of the existing tradition of substantive children’s participation in social change work; (2) share case studies across various sectors and regions of the world; (3) highlight ongoing challenges and evidence gaps; and (4) showcase expert opinions on the inclusion of child rights and, in particular, child/youth-led approaches in project-based work.

“…If a parent leaves for work, responsibility for care of the child is negotiated within the father's family members first, but the maternal grandmother also often agrees to take the child into her home. A high degree of mobility between houses is a feature of many children's experiences (Beazley, Butt, & Ball, ).…”

Challenges to birth registration for children whose parents migrate transnationally for work have been inadequately investigated. Often a prerequisite to accessing state resources such as education and child protection, birth registration may meaningfully indicate a family's capacities to provide for children's well‐being. A multimethod qualitative study in 4 high‐migration communities in East Lombok, Indonesia, explored the strategic actions migrant parents take regarding birth registration. Families register children based on priorities, capacities, understanding of entitlements, and labyrinthine application processes. Three case studies describe the strategic actions families take with regards to registration to allow some measure of control over their children's well‐being: prioritising documents for adult migration; strictly conforming to registration requirements; and relying on false documentation. Findings suggest that parents' strategic actions result in limited family success in the context of weak state initiatives to link birth registration to valued resources for children and families.
