Book Brain Drain Vs Brain Circulation  Central Asia

Download or read book Brain Drain Vs Brain Circulation Central Asia written by Muzaffar Olimov and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The volume examines the issue of brain drain in Central Asia. The chapters analyse the causes of brain drain and the methodologies of addressing it with case studies in the region. They also investigate various policies that could lead to brain circulation and eventually brain gain. The volume demonstrates that some of countries in the region are facing the problem of brain drain more than others and no action has been taken, therefore it requires immediate action by policymakers and economists. The volume is a useful addition to the scant literature dealing with brain drain policies for a sustainable economic development, and policymakers will find it useful in designing policies for achieving development policies. The volume will also be useful for higher degree research students, especially in the area of economic and sustainable development"--

Book Challenges to Globalization

Download or read book Challenges to Globalization written by Robert E. Baldwin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People passionately disagree about the nature of the globalization process. The failure of both the 1999 and 2003 World Trade Organization's (WTO) ministerial conferences in Seattle and Cancun, respectively, have highlighted the tensions among official, international organizations like the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, nongovernmental and private sector organizations, and some developing country governments. These tensions are commonly attributed to longstanding disagreements over such issues as labor rights, environmental standards, and tariff-cutting rules. In addition, developing countries are increasingly resentful of the burdens of adjustment placed on them that they argue are not matched by commensurate commitments from developed countries. Challenges to Globalization evaluates the arguments of pro-globalists and anti-globalists regarding issues such as globalization's relationship to democracy, its impact on the environment and on labor markets including the brain drain, sweat shop labor, wage levels, and changes in production processes, and the associated expansion of trade and its effects on prices. Baldwin, Winters, and the contributors to this volume look at multinational firms, foreign investment, and mergers and acquisitions and present surprising findings that often run counter to the claim that multinational firms primarily seek countries with low wage labor. The book closes with papers on financial opening and on the relationship between international economic policies and national economic growth rates.

Book Diasporas

Download or read book Diasporas written by Kathleen Newland and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diasporas play an increasingly prominent role in discussions on foreign assistance and development policy. Governments of migrant-sending countries are working to attract both the talents and resources of emigrants and their descendants while governments of aid-sending countries hope to improve the outcomes of development assistance by engaging the talents and expertise of diasporas. Independently of governments, many diaspora groups or individuals recognize profitable opportunities in their homelands or contribute their time, talents, and resources to improving the quality of life there. This volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy. It is the result of research commissioned by the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Poverty Reduction, Diaspora Networks Alliance. Contributors include Roberto Munster, Hiroyuki Tanaka, Carlyanna Taylor, and Aaron Terrazas.

Book Turning Brain Drain Into Brain Gain

Download or read book Turning Brain Drain Into Brain Gain written by Navroz Habib Surani and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders in developing nations are increasingly concerned about the economic impact of losing highly qualified citizens to opportunities in more developed countries, particularly countries in the West. This diaspora phenomenon, often labeled brain drain, refers to developing countries losing intellectual capital through the emigration of highly skilled individuals. To understand brain drain, the objective of this exploratory descriptive and interpretive study was to explore the various conditions under which Pakistani diaspora settled in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) would be willing to engage in knowledge transfer activities. Theoretical frameworks of reciprocity and human capital theory grounded this study. The guiding research question was: What are the conditions under which diaspora members would be willing to engage in knowledge transfer activities with Pakistan? The study used an exploratory descriptive research design with an interpretive approach to examine leveraging diaspora engagement to convert brain drain to brain gain in Pakistan. Interviewing diaspora was essential to determine how developing countries, like Pakistan, can harness the knowledge of its diaspora for developmental purposes. A total of 15 face to face interviews of Pakistani diaspora who settled in the Greater Toronto Area were conducted for this study. Based on the findings of the study, Pakistan has a significant opportunity to tap into its more than seven million diaspora (Haq et al., 2013) and engage them for its capacity building purposes. Findings from the study indicated diaspora knowledge transfer is dependent on life stages and years spent in a new country. Individuals new to a country are less likely to engage in knowledge transfer than those who have lived in a new country for a longer duration. To achieve success in engaging with Pakistani diaspora, factors like mutual trust, a need to approach diaspora engagement in a structured manner and more importantly a need to have a broad vision on the part of sending countries were considered essential requirements to achieve a successful diaspora engagement strategy. There is a need and an opportunity for Pakistan to reflect and transform its thinking about its diaspora and the developmental role they might play beyond sending remittances.

This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Network diasporas are but the latest bridge connecting developing economy insiders, with their risk-mitigating knowledge and connections, to outsiders in command of technical know-how and investment capital. This book examines the interaction of expatriate talent with institutions in expatriates' countries of origin in an attempt to make the potential of diasporas and their knowledge a reality. The question of how to trigger and sustain such a virtuous cycle is a central concern of this book. The focus is on the "how to" details of how to design effective diaspora networks and transform brain drain into brain gain.
