Logue, Danielle – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2009
The mobility of scientists and the concerns surrounding "brain drain" are not new. Even in the Ptolemic dynasty, the first king set out to attract and influence the movements of scholars to shift the centre of learning from Athens to Alexandria. Yet after all this time, there is still much policy discourse and debate focused on attempting to…

Ong, Paul M.; And Others – Asian and Pacific Migration Journal, 1992
Discusses the effects of the movement of Asians trained in technical fields in light of the global articulation of higher education, the link to unequal development on a global scale, and the contribution of economic development of the reverse flow to less developed countries. (JB)

Karadima, Oscar – 1982
The concept of anomie is proposed as one sociological variable that may explain the "brain drain" phenomenon (i.e., the movement of highly qualified personnel from their country of origin to another, most often a more developed, technologically advanced country). It is hypothesized that the higher the level of anomie found among…
