In the global era, transnational flows of highly skilled individuals are increasing.

Yang, Rui; Welch, Anthony R. – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2010
The master discourses of economic globalisation and the knowledge economy each cite knowledge diasporas as vital "trans-national human capital".

Clotfelter, Charles T., Ed. – University of Chicago Press, 2010
In higher education, the United States is the preeminent global leader, dominating the list of the world's top research universities. But there are signs that America's position of global leadership will face challenges in the future, as it has in other realms of international competition. "American Universities in a Global Market"…

The present era is characterized by scientists' high level of mobility, which is due to the characteristics of science work and its dynamic nature.

This net inflow of foreign students has been indirectly and, more recently,…

Talk of the rise of a global war for talent and emergence of a new global meritocracy has spread from the literature on human resource management to shape nation-state discourse on managed migration and immigration reform. This article examines the implications that the global war for talent have for education policy. Given that this talent war is…

Alem, Atalay; Pain, Clare; Araya, Mesfin; Hodges, Brian D. – Academic Psychiatry, 2010
Background: Globalization in medical education often means a "brain drain" of desperately needed health professionals from low- to high-income countries. Despite the best intentions, partnerships that simply transport students to Western medical schools for training have shockingly low return rates. Ethiopia, for example, has sent…

Gribble, Cate – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2008
A consequence of the dramatic rise in international student mobility is the trend for international students to remain in the country in which they study after graduation. Countries such as Australia, the UK and Canada stand to benefit from international student migration, as they are able to fill skill shortages with locally trained foreign…

Baldacchino, Godfrey – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2006
The "brain drain" phenomenon is typically seen as a zero-sum game, where one party's gain is presumed to be another's drain. This corresponds to deep-seated assumptions about what is "home" and what is "away". This article challenges the view, driven by much "brain drain" literature, that the dynamic is an…

Lien, Donald – Economics of Education Review, 2006
Assume that there are two types of knowledge, global and local. This paper considers a university in a developing country that allocates finite education resources to the delivery of these two types of knowledge. We provide the optimal resource allocation that maximizes social welfare. We show that, by imposing a minimum resource allocation to…

Public education in America continues to be viewed as being worthy of major investments to improve the county's economic position in the world. But quality education for many Americans is still not within their reach. Fifty years after the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in "Brown v. Board of Education" eliminating legal segregation of…
