From sexation to sexualization
This article introduces two new concepts—dispersed submission (DS) and sexation—in an interrogation of the general structures and nuanced practices of the global sex industry. There is considerable stress on the ways in which practices of domination during colonialism set up a form of racio-gendered ‘path dependence’ now imbricated in the current neoliberal global political economy. The arguments emerge from both material practices and careful co…
Cosmopolitan Sex Workers
This book introduces an innovative ‘3C’ framework of city, creativity, and cosmopolitanism to analyze why and how the forces of neoliberal economic restructuring processes, and people’s responses to them, encourage women’s migration for sex work from global city to global city. Based on original fieldwork in Kuala Lumpur (KL), the study begins by examining KL’s transformation into a global city. Despite the state’s creatively repressive responses…

Labour Flexibilization at Sea
Cruise line employment of men and women contract seafarers from all over the world since the late twentieth century has produced what is called multinational or ‘mini UN’ crew on board large modern cruise ships. This phenomenon is encouraged by open ship registries that legally endorse and affirm the flexibilization of labour at sea. Labour flexibilization processes, however, are not characterized solely by the demand and supply of low wage seafa…
Diversification' and 'Privatisation
Since the late twentieth century, the numbers of documented and undocumented transnational migrant men and women have grown exponentially in the labour receiving country of Malaysia. This article demonstrates that the Malaysian state pursues a dualpronged strategy of ‘diversifying’ migrant nationalities and 'privatising’ security to frame and manage public anxieties wrought by economic dependence on, and the fear and resentment of, low wage migra…
Visible Bodies, Invisible Work
The changing characteristics of labor migration in Asia today elicit an important question regarding the nature and consequences of state involvement in the entry and employment of low wage migrant workers. This paper offers an analysis of the labor-receiving state's practices toward migrant women domestic workers in Malaysia. I ascertain that the exercise of a particular kind of state power as evinced from policies and legislation, consistently …
The state of the 'state' in globalization
This article asserts that, instead of anticipating or searching for indications of the 'end of the state' in an era of neoliberal globalization, it is more fruitful to examine the relationship between the state and social order, because of the potential to discern the conditions and consequences in which occur the ruling elite's and social forces' resistance to and/or alliance with, transnational capital. A case study of Malaysia is presented to …
In Service and Servitude
The contemporary institution of live-in domestic service that is increasingly characterized by foreign female domestic workers' (FFDWs) labour has become as important as transnational capital and markets to the Malaysian state's modernity project of building a developed society by the year 2020. The conceptual framework of this dissertation integrates analyses of the in-migration of FFDWs and the consequent political, economic, social, and normat…

Walls of Silence and Late Twentieth Century Representations of the Foreign Female Domestic Worker
This article analyzes the distinct ways in which public walls of silence continue to surround the absence of labor rights and benefits for foreign female domestic workers in the receiving country of Malaysia. Key state and nonstate actors involved in regulating and/or encouraging Filipina and Indonesian female domestic workers’ migration to, and employment in, Malaysia are identified. It is argued that the actions and perceptions of labor-sending…
