This project uses ethnographic research conducted between 2010 and 2011, as well as original survey data (n=800), to examine how the transnational enclave impacts opportunities for upward mobility among Koreans in Beijing. Specifically, I set out to challenge how the key principles of the enclave hypothesis differed within the transnational context by examining four empirical field sites: 1) the space of everyday life in the enclave (chapter 5), 2) the ethnic church (chapter 6), 3) the individual experiences of first-generation South Koreans and third- and fourth-generation Korean Chinese ethnic entrepreneurs, and 4) the South Korean chaebol (conglomerate) firm in Beijing (chapter 8). My project demonstrates that the mechanisms of ethnic solidarity touted in the enclave hypothesis are largely absent in the Korean transnational enclave in Beijing. Frequent transnational movement and disparities in class and cultural identity have led to bifurcated social networks, residential segregation, and institutional fragmentation within the community. While the enclave still provides minorities with opportunities by facilitating the growth of transnational activities, buffering the costs of immigration, and stimulating the accumulation of foreign capital, migrants face formidable obstacles in mobilizing ethnic resources due to damaged bonds of ethnic solidarity. Rather than rely solely the enclave for sustenance, migrants must move flexibly across a broad range of contexts both inside and outside the enclave to gain access to resources to sustain their entrepreneurial activities. To this end, third- and fourth-generation Korean Chinese migrants who are able to act as cultural intermediaries are best able to utilize the opportunities available in the transnational enclave, whereas their first-generation South Korean counterparts, despite their high levels of human capital, largely fail to due to their inability to form ties with local Chinese bureaucrats. The ability to form social networks with locals plays a critical role in Korean entrepreneurs' ability to manage the institutionally uncertain environment of the PRC. The enclave, by geographically and socially sequestering the South Koreans within their own community, largely perpetuates their isolation from Chinese society and as a result, their perpetual dependence on Korean Chinese intermediaries to conduct business.
