Produktbeschreibung

How have international skilled migratory flows been formed, sustained, and transformed over multiple spaces and scales? How have these processes affected cities and regions? And how have multiple stakeholders responded to these processes? The contributors to this book bring together perspectives from economic, social, urban, and population geography in order to analyse these questions from a myriad of angles. Empirical case studies of regions illuminate the multi-scaled processes of international skilled migration.
