Abstract

This special section includes articles presented at the fourth Mahidol Migration Center Conference held in June 2016. The theme of the conference, In an Era of Transnational Migration, elicited papers on a number of themes. Broadly, these include migrant status and well-being; migrants as distinct demographic groups; and migration policy. The conference also included a number of papers covering cross-cutting issues. Three of the conference papers are presented in this section, representing a cross-section of these pertinent themes.
