Differential Inclusion and the Socio‐Ecological Superdiversification of Tokyo
While the Chicago School laid the groundwork for conceiving cities as ecological systems, contemporary socio‐ecological urban studies offer a more nuanced, sustainability‐oriented framework that incorporates critical perspectives on migration, inequality, and power. Within this expanded framework, the concept of superdiversity and its socio‐spatial articulation in terms of superdiversification is particularly useful for understanding Tokyo. Migra…

Transnational networks and mobilities of IT migrant entrepreneurs in a globalizing world
Transnational entrepreneurship has its origins in studies on IT entrepreneurs in the US, and on the role of contextual influences that enable the emergence of vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems. In this paper, we look at the role of institutional actors and their transnational connections on transnational entrepreneurship. Based on interviews with institutional actors in two IT hubs of the Californian Silicon Valley and the Maltese Silicon Vallet…
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the transnationalization of LGBT* activism in Japan and beyond
The global Covid-19 pandemic has strongly impacted social practices, relocating communications and social networks into the digital space. Contextualized in such impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the local LGBT* activism in Japan achieved a special momentum: both the acceleration of the socio-spatial relocation of LGBT* activism to the digital space and the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 by 1 year enabled activists to mobilize people dome…
Transnationalism, Elite Migrants, and the Spatiality of Superdiversity
The geography or the spatiality of superdiversity has been only implicitly researched, primarily in ethnographic and sociolinguistic empirical studies on superdiversity. This chapter proposes a geographical conceptualization of superdiversity by analyzing sociospatial superdiversification as a process of bringing together the interconnected phenomena of the global increase of migration and the local transformation of urban spaces. By connecting t…
Extending mixed embeddedness to a multi-dimensional concept of transnational entrepreneurship
Migrant entrepreneurship in times of transnational migration go beyond locally serving markets and increasingly operate transnationally. The mixed embeddedness by Kloosterman and Rath has become the main concept to analyze such migrants’ entrepreneurship as it accounts for the multiple embeddedness of entrepreneurs in the variety of social and institutional contexts at multiple levels. This concept, however, does not yet accommodate the transnati…
From global city makers to global city-shapers
Recently, increasing migrant-led diversity of urban spaces can be expected to be especially observed in global cities, where global flows of capital, goods and people are concentrated. Although this connection between the global phenomenon of transnational migration and the local socio-spatial impacts on the cities appears evident, empirical research on the ‘relationship of migrants and cities’ remains underexplored. Discussions on global city ma…
Transnational migrants and the socio-spatial superdiversification of the global city Tokyo
Tokyo illustrates a particularly interesting case of differential inclusions of transnational migrants in urban spaces, as the novel turn in migration policy in coordination with urban economic development has induced the arrival and diversification of migrant populations into the city. With the recent historic opening of the country to lower-skilled labour migration as well as measures to (re-) attract the global economy, thus incentivising tran…
The multi‐scalar embeddedness of support policies for migrant entrepreneurship in Japan
Contextual entrepreneurship and mixed embeddedness approach alike emphasize the importance of the political‐institutional embeddedness next to social embeddedness along with further contexts for migrant entrepreneurship, yet the aspect of international migration policies as an important institutional framework has been somewhat neglected. This paper introduces the case of political‐institutional embeddedness of migrant entrepreneurship in Japan f…
Approximating entrepreneurial superdiversity
One decade after its introduction, the superdiversity concept introduced by Steven Vertovec has widely found echoes in migration research, but also in business studies, particularly those focusing on ethnic minority entrepreneurship (EME). In spite of conceptually embracing superdiversity in EME research, the multi-dimensionality of superdiversity in its original understanding appears to require further consideration. Dimensions currently overloo…
Transnational professionals’ socio-spatial venturing out to the Tokyo global city-region
Global-city research has focused primarily on considering transnational corporations and transnational professionals (TNPs) in economic terms, neglecting the role of TNPs’ specific socio-spatial practices in constituting the transnational space. Although researchers on global city-regions (GCRs) have pointed to the relevance of the larger regions for global cities, little is known about the TNPs moving into such regions, and their socio-spatial p…
The restructuring of old industrial areas in East Asia
The shift of manufacturing industry from Japan, the first industrializing nation in East Asia, to neighbouring South Korea and China saw the emergence of restructuring problems and policies in traditional industries and regional economies depending on them. Based on a literature review on this topic in East Asia, this paper draws three conclusions. First, the resource endowments of the three countries differ greatly and consequently also the magn…
