| Summary/Abstract |
The Sarp land border gate between Turkey and Georgia has become Turkey’s gateway to the East in recent years. With a large number of individuals crossing every day, it is also a labour gate, where irregular Georgian immigrants cross the border for work in Turkey. In general, border policies are constructed and reconstructed in a dynamic process in which economic, security, ethnopolitical, geopolitical and cultural paradigms interact. The aim of this paper is to observe the complementary and conflicting relationship and negotiation process between economic and security paradigms in particular, with a focus on the perceptions of the officers of the border administration and state bureaucracy at the local level. To this end, field research was carried out consisting of interviews with Turkish state officials responsible for immigration and border crossing in the Sarp gate region. The article sheds light on the interaction between various agencies, actors and stakeholders in border policymaking at the regional level. It also elaborates on the profiles both of incoming immigrants employed as irregular workers and of deportees. The results of the qualitative study show that the dominance of the economic paradigm that underlies the main framework of Georgia-Turkey relations overrides security concerns between the two countries, thus necessitating a more flexible implementation of laws. The field research illustrates that implementation of laws and regulations at the local level varies and while some groups of irregular immigrants are allowed to work, others are not and, what is more, are deported.

| Summary/Abstract |
Lerner's description contextualises our interest
in borders. The papers in this special section of
Asia Pacific Viewpoint have been inspired by
recent work that examine borders not as
forever peripheral to core interests of the state,
but as sites of opportunity for state actors and
institutions, personal discovery of freed spaces
for identity formation and alternative gender
roles (Schendel and Abraham, 2005; Tagliacozzo,
2005; Horstman and Wadley, 2006).
They deal with both metaphoric and national/
jurisdictional boundaries by privileging narratives
of those who are actually involved in
negotiating one or both (Kyle and Siracusa,
2005). The papers further address the hierarchies
