THE WELFARE STATE IN COMPETITION FOR GLOBAL TAL...

The book merges the views of regional development and innovation environments with the
international migration of highly skilled labour. Globalisation and the knowledge economy shape
the labour market of experts and create the global field of choices for individual knowledge
holders and their families. The question is: Why do highly skilled experts choose to live and
work in a particular place in this particular context? What are the roles of international
regulations  nation-states and regions in the process? The book is based on a multidisciplinary
research project and is among the first of its kind on international level. The case study
focuses on foreign professionals and experts working in high-tech organisations in Finnish
innovation environments (556 answers to questionnaire and over 140 personal interviews in the
fields of ICT and biotech)  but the theoretical focus is on the interfacing of the global and
the local.
