ABSTRACT
This paper reviews and evaluates major theories and research on labour migration. It summarises the major issues often raised and analysed by scholars and researchers. Based on the summary, the ideas for expansion of labour migration studies are discussed by suggesting that it is important to consider labour migration role in political development and security issues, and vice versa. It is hoped that such an idea provides opportunity for more comprehensive study on labour migration-politics-security in relation to the emerging scholars and researchers, which have thus put us in a better position to appreciate labour migration impacts towards politics and security issues.
Key words: HLabour Migration; Politics; Security; Theory and Research on Migration
