ABSTRACT
The chapter aims to illustrate the major contested issues in the discourses amongst representatives transnationally managing Filipino nurses. A focus on the dominant discursive positions of the representatives highlight the socially constructed expectations of the implicated Filipino nurses as a recruited group, how the recruited workforce is managed and structurally organised, and what is considered ethical practices within transnational recruitment.
Referring to the ordered map in Chapter 5 and the analysis in Chapter 6, this chapter is divided into categories of discursive positions to discuss the implications of these positions in terms of structural inequality barriers (Acker, 2006). The discursive positions are not from a particular representative or organisation but rather dominating the discourses within the domain of the producer-based care networks.
