"In States of Admission, Konrad Kalicki examines the contentious politics of foreign labor admission in Japan. Kalicki's findings challenge conventional assumptions that ethnonationalism explains much of Japan's immigration policies. He meticulously shows that they are, instead, the effects of state actors balancing structural constraints, societal demands, and their autonomous interests."-- Provided by publisher.
