Abstract

This chapter outlines the scope and contribution of the book. It starts with a critical appraisal of research in privileged migration, teasing out how the relationship between privilege and migration has been understood, the key themes and strengths of this work and the lacuna still to be addressed. It presents an initial outline of the theoretical framework to be used in the book, emphasising the need to understand how postcolonialism and neoliberalism articulate in the production of privilege. Further, it introduces the research and methods used and provides a summary of the chapters.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It should be noted at this point that, while the majority of Karen’s respondents in Malaysia were British, some were of dual nationality or identified as Western rather than British. Nevertheless, they self-selected for participation, knowing the research was ostensibly about British migration.

  2. 2.

    Within research on privileged migration there has been rich discussion of the use of these terms as categories of investigation and analysis. Of particular note are the papers by Kunz (2016) and Cranston (2017) who carefully lay out the difference between claims of self-identification and the categorical use of these terms by researchers. Such efforts to distinguish between conceptual labels as analytical tools and the demarcation of particular migrant populations are also at the heart of our recent article, moving lifestyle migration on to considerations of lifestyle in migration (Benson and O’Reilly 2015).
