  • Title: The changing role of Asian labour migration in the Middle East.
    Author: Humphrey M.
    Journal: Rev Eur Migr Int; 1991; 7(1):45-63. PubMed ID: 12343234.
    Abstract:
    "The paper explores the changing role and origins of foreign labour in two labour importing states, Kuwait and Jordan.... Because Asian labour is cheaper, politically quiescent and more readily reexportable than Arab labour migrants it has become an increasingly important element of these labour forces.... The paper argues that the strategy of dependent development based on the state's import of large amounts of capital, labour and technology has emphasised specific national identities over a regional pan-Arab one."
