Reconceptualizing Regional Cooperation: Communitarian-Based Migration and Human Security Cooperation between Japan and Korea

State-led initiatives in Japan and Korea are analyzed to clarify their approaches to securing the human security of their growing migrant populations. Through identifying parallels and differences in the approaches of the Japanese and Korean governments in terms of securing human security of migrants, I argue that non-state (communitarian) actors such as unions, local governments, private businesses and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can initiate international cooperation between Japan and Korea in the area of migration policies, migrant policies and human security. This reconceptualization of regional cooperation stressing non-state actors in the form of communitarian-based cooperation can act as the foundation to mitigate some of the migratory pressures resulting from deepening regional integration and enhance human security in the region.
