Описание: An expatriate is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of their citizenship. During the latter half of the 20th century, expatriation was dominated by professionals sent by their employers to foreign subsidiaries or headquarters. Starting at the end of the 20th century globalisation created a global market for skilled professionals and levelled the income of skilled professionals relative to cost of living while the income differences of the unskilled remained large. Many corporations are sending expatriates to their overseas operations. In fact, expatriates have and the need for internationally competent managers is expected to rise as more and more firms face global competition. Research Handbook of Expatriates is a compilation of contributions that provides a comprehensive discussion of expatriates and significant insights into emerging areas of research. This book will appeal to advanced graduate students and scholars in the field of expatriate research, international management, global human resource management and business administration. It will also provide a comprehensive guidance for executives and recruiters along with emigrants and professionals who may emigrant. The text highlights the importance of personal characteristics of expatriates that are often underestimated in companies selection procedures. Moreover, the connection between the parent companys strategy and the pattern of institutionalization of HRM practices should make the company management reflect upon the preferred pattern before taking the basic decisions. Organisations need to understand the dynamic relationships between staffing and outcomes, and how these relationships change over time. Understanding expatriates on international assignment helps in improving the strategic initiatives by the corporates and the government in retaining them. Expatriates provide a number of benefits for companies, including greater parent control and particular expertise. International experience is also seen as providing opportunities for personal and professional development and career advancement. Expatriates are very expensive, however, and this can discourage extensive use of expatriates. Many companies have also experienced relatively high failure rates, with failure often being attributed to the familys inability to adapt. Several characteristics determine an expatriates expected level of success: job skills, motivational state, language skills, relationship skills, and family situation. Technical competency is most often used as the selection criteria for expatriates, but that is rarely the best selection technique. The technical skills of an expatriate are of course important, but other skills can be as important.

While scholarship on migration has been thriving for decades, little attention has been paid to professionals from Europe and America who move temporarily to destinations beyond 'the West'. Such migrants are marginalised and depoliticised by debates on immigration policy, and thus there is an urgent need to develop nuanced understanding of these more privileged movements. In many ways, these are the modern-day equivalents of colonial settlers and expatriates, yet the continuities in their migration practices have rarely been considered.
The New Expatriates advances our understanding of contemporary mobile professionals by engaging with postcolonial theories of race, culture and identity. The volume brings together authors and research from across a wide range of disciplines, seeking to evaluate the significance of the past in shaping contemporary expatriate mobilities and highlighting postcolonial continuities in relation to people, practices and imaginations. Acknowledging the resonances across a range of geographical sites in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the chapters consider the particularity of postcolonial contexts, while enabling comparative perspectives. A focus on race and culture is often obscured by assumptions about class, occupation and skill, but this volume explicitly examines the way in which whiteness and imperial relationships continue to shape the migration experiences of Euro-American skilled migrants as they seek out new places to live and work.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
