The establishment of BEZs is one strategy that has been employed in an attempt to formalise and expand border trade in Ayewaddy-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) countries. These countries envisioned that increased investment in these zones would lead to the creation of additional jobs and a subsequent decrease in the number of workers from poorer countries migrating to find work. This publication explores the impact that BEZs are having on migration and the lives of migrants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/finalised-BEZ-pdf-file-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to download<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fourth edition of the Resource Book series includes updates on migration issues, policies and regulations, and responses at national and regional levels during 2009 to 2012; as well as an in-depth study on border economic zones (BEZs) and migration.
