Abstract

The conclusion provides an analysis of guest work programmes and the production of non-citizens. It explains that, on a number of levels, vulnerability is the driving force behind the agricultural economy. It also sheds light on how work and citizenship come together to create the figure of the model employee and migrant, as someone with a very limited horizon of possibilities.
