Opis

Opening Pathways, Building Bridges explores contemporary skilled migration and the brain drain using a bottom-up approach, based on a case study of Mexican scientists and engineers working in the UK.

Recenzje

"Skilled migration has become a critical yet insufficiently explored topic internationally. Anzures' book, focused on Mexican STEM immigrants in the UK from a transnational perspective, provides a valuable and insightful contribution enabling us to expand our understanding of key issues in the field."-Raúl Delgado Wise, Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Mexico
