Agents of Migration - Institutional Embededdness of Labour Brokerage in Nepal
In this "Author Meets Critics" event, Sandhya A.S. (Bielefeld University) discusses the core arguments, methodologies, and contributions to contemporary research of her recently published book "Agents of Migration - Institutional Embeddedness of Labour Brokerage in Nepal” together with leading experts in cross-border labour market research. The book examines the growing role of migration agents in labour migration from Nepal. It conceptualizes brokerage as an institutionally constituted and contested market for migration services. It explores why these intermediaries persist despite migrant networks and expanding state mechanisms, and how brokerage reshapes state - market relations, migration governance, and migrant
labour processes.
