Since the end of major combat operations in Iraq, roughly 120 people have been abducted, with one-third being executed. The largest contingent of these workers were provided by the Philippines. Through a specific focus on the Philippines connection, this book considers the ways in which labour migration intersects with the occupation of Iraq.

Since the cessation of major combat operations in Iraq, approximately 120 people - either contract workers or private soldiers - have been abducted, with one-third being executed. The largest contingent of these workers has been provided by the Philippines. Through a specific, though not exclusive, focus on the Philippines connection, this book considers the myriad ways in which transnational labour migration intersects with the occupation of Iraq. Also examining the role of the USA in the Middle East, the book places the war on terror within the practices of neoliberalism, but also links this with migration issues and argues that it is all part of a larger 'business' of conflict.
