[MIM-Highly.Skilled] Article on governance of highly skilled migration

Many thanks for this, Micheline. I wish I could have seen this before this paper of mine (out late last week) was written. It would have been hugely helpful as we are thinking on similar lines, Micheline. You raise some issues around scale that I have side-stepped and I think your analysis of scalar mixing is invaluable.. Interjecting the geographies of skills into international skilled migration research: political economy and ethics for a renewed research agenda<http://doi.org/10.1002/psp.2463>. It is open access; I thought the first half might be useful for teaching but the second half is trying to think through where (all) we go next with our research on skilled migration and I hope it will lead to a lively conversation... Hope to catch up with you all soon to discuss these and other work written by the group.

Please consider this before opening attachments, clicking links, or acting on the content. Dear colleagues, Greetings from Uppsala and I hope that this email finds you well. I am happy to let you know that my article on Scalar Politics and Network Relations in the Governance of Highly Skilled Migration has been published in Geographical Review. The article brings together literatures on scalar politics and policy networks to investigate the roles of nonstate actors in highly skilled migration governance in Norway's petroleum industry. It makes three arguments. First, national state actors have clearly delineated the spheres of influence in highly skilled migration policymaking. These boundary-setting practices ensure that the state remains in charge of key domains related to international migration and employment. Second, place shapes the (re)scaling and networking practices of public and nonstate actors. Third, new, nonstate actors have emerged that transcend scalar hierarchies through public-private partnerships. The most influential state actors, however, refrain from these alliances to remain neutral in politically charged issues.
