Overview

This analysis reveals that new legal status hierarchies for stateless persons in Thailand highlight neoliberal citizenship's impact on migration.

Key Points

  • Stateless persons face a new hierarchy, where higher social and cultural capital aids legal status navigation.
  • Findings indicate that educated stateless youth view citizenship through neoliberal lenses, emphasizing contributions.
  • Ethnographic research in northern Thailand informs the assessment of neoliberal citizenship logics on immigration policies.
  • The study suggests that despite a shift towards inclusion, statelessness remains a persistent challenge in Thai governance.
