Anne-Meike Fechter 's early work focused on Euro-American corporate expatriates in South East Asia. The resulting monograph, entitled "Transnational Lives: Expatriates in Indonesia" (Routledge 2007), analyzes Euro-Americans working in Jakarta within the context of transnationalism and globalisation. More recently, she has begun a research project on aid workers as mobile professionals with particular regard to Cambodia, which follows their careers, life courses and experiences of place while on an overseas posting. She is also editor, with Anne Coles, of the volume "Gender and Family among Transnational Professionals" (Routledge 2007), and with Katie Walsh, of a recent special issue of the "Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies" (2010) which presents studies in the framework of "Post/colonial Encounters: Expatriates in Comparative Perspective".
