Perceptions of Borders and Human Migration
The Human (In)Security of Shan Migrant Workers in Thailand
While there are many prior studies to date on the internal conflicts in Burma, these are mostly focused on the human rights situation within the country.

While there are many prior studies to date on the internal conflicts in Burma, these are mostly focused on the human rights situation within the country. In addition, many previous marked studies, such as works from Thai academics, International Organizations or the World Health Organization, have highlighted the human securities of migrant workers in the destination country whereby the process of migration has already taken place. However, none of them have focused on the phenomenon of migration in relation to perceptions of borders and human security. The lack of study addressing the influence of borders and human securities as the key indicators to people’s migration behaviour supports the significance and relevance of this research.
As a B.A. majoring in International Relations from Thammasat University in Thailand with experience in Thailand’s Foreign Ministry, Ropharat Aphijanyatham focused her research on border issues between Myanmar and Thailand, especially the increasing movement of low-skill labor from Shan State in Myanmar into Thailand to seek jobs. She also analyzed the proposed means by which to secure their safe, legal employment across the borders with decent wages and access to some social protections, including health care and their children’s education. She has completed her Master’s Degree from Keio University, Japan and has returned to Bangkok recently in order to prepare her PhD
