Yet, both the policy-enthusiasm for safety, as well as how safe migration comes into being through policies and programs remain unexplored. Based on seven years of ethnographic fieldwork in the Mekong region, this is the first book that traces the emergence of safe migration, why certain aid actors gravitate towards the concept, as well as how safe migration policies and programmes unfold through aid agencies and government bodies. The book argues that safe migration is best understood as \u003ci\u003ebrokered safety\u003c\/i\u003e. Although safe migration policy interventions attempt to formalize pre-emptive and protective measures to enhance labour migrants' well-being, the book shows through vivid ethnographic details how formal migration assistance in itself depends on - and produces - informal asnd mediated practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book offers unprecedented insights into what safe migration policies look like in practice. It is an innovate contribution to contemporary theorizing of contemporary forms of migration governance and will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and human geographers working within the fields of Migration studies, Development Studies, as well as Southeast Asian and Global Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/books\/e\/9781003185734 has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSverre Molland\u003c\/strong\u003e is a senior lecturer in Anthropology at the Australian National University, Australia.
