Population movement is one of the very natures of economic geography in the era of globalisation. The paper aims to map out the new geographical contours of Taiwan from which the Southeast Asian population immigrates particularly after 1990s, with perspectives of the foreign labours, spouse moves and the Diaspora. Thus this thesis is structured by the conceptual framework of globalization, geographical imagery and identity. This study has then successfully conducted in-depth interviews to 36 samples of foreign laborers and spouse movers and 6 samples of policy makers in Taiwan. The results show firstly that the movement is mostly concerned with economical and environmental dynamics. The economical factor includes the worse working terrains and shortage of employment, and the latter embraces, due to the political conflicts in their native home, the seekings of better quality of life and better job imagination. Cultural identity is then the second motivation: Taiwan here is without conversely the homeland for overseas Chinese, the diaspora, to returning back to. Next, gaps between the imaginary and real economic geography are discussed due to the differentiation of working situations, multiculturalisms and inequalities. Thirdly, mediated by the mass media and previous immigrants, the condition of agencies for the concrete actor network of the immigrants is unraveled. Fourthly, the population trafficking and crackdown are found via the process of immigrant spouses. Finally, the domino effect on subsequently ‘spinning immigration’ is recently significant and then scrutinized. After drawn out the lucid curves of immigration issues, policies of implementation are suggested to the agent and the policymakers of government interview mechanism, and immigrant policy.
