The aim of this study is to analyse and compare how the rights of low-skilled labour migrants have been formed and developed in Japan and South Korea, from a discursive institutionalist perspective. Over the last two decades, interestingly, the two East Asian nation-states, although having similar policy legacies of East Asian welfare and immigration regimes (productivism and ethnic nationalism), have demonstrated different policy developments regarding the two groups of low-skilled labour migrants, resulting in different paths in terms of their rights – i.e., persistent ethnic differentiation in Japan and ethnically hierarchical inclusion in Korea. This article argues that the rationale behind the difference between Japan and Korea can be found in their different discursive interaction processes of policy legacies and alternative policy ideas (human rights and multiculturalism). That is to say, policy legacies have legitimised and strengthened the existing policy paradigms of low-skilled foreign-born populations – i.e., ethnic differentiation in Japan and differential exclusion in Korea, whereas alternative ideas have reinforced and/or challenged the paradigms, thereby engendering different approaches to the inclusion/exclusion of low-skilled labour migrants.

在政治中构建移民权利:来自日本和韩国的比较证据*

本研究的目的是从话语制度主义的角度分析和比较日本和韩国低技能劳动力移民的权利是如何形成和发展的。有趣的是,在过去的二十年里,这两个东亚民族国家虽然在东亚福利和移民制度(生产主义和民族主义)方面有着相似的政策遗产,但在这两组低技能劳工移民方面却表现出不同的政策发展,导致他们在权利方面的不同路径——即日本的持续种族分化和韩国的种族等级包容。本文认为,日本和韩国之间差异背后的基本原理可以在其政策遗产和替代政策理念(人权和多元文化主义)的不同话语互动过程中找到。也就是说,政策遗产使低技能外国出生人口的现有政策范式合法化和加强——即日本的种族分化和韩国的差异排斥,而替代思想加强和/或挑战范式,从而产生纳入/排除低技能劳工移民的不同方法。
