The trends of globalization and regionalization have accelerated population flows, which test national immigration policies and the ability of the state to deal with cross-border affairs. The signing of ECFA and the formation of the ASEAN community will alter the types of people who migrate internationally. The massive flow of labor migrants will become the main driving force behind changes in society, economy, politics and culture. Singapore and Taiwan have the same historical courses, similar ethnic groups, and corresponding political-economic conditions, but have developed different labor-immigration policies and approaches since the 1990s. What are the main factors that affect both countries’ labor immigration policies, and what are the differences and similarities in these policies? This article will discuss the crucial factors and differences by comparing the formation of national immigration policies between Singapore and Taiwan, in order to develop a dynamic model which can help explain and predict the outcome in shaping a state’s immigration policy.
