Brain Circulation diaspora and international competitiveness
European Management Journal, 2008Co-Authors: Rosalie L. TungAbstract:Summary Drawing upon findings of several studies, this paper examines the interrelationships between Brain Circulation or "triangular human talent flow", ethnic diasporas (specifically, the Chinese and Indian diasporas), and a country's international competitiveness. Globalization, the lowering of immigration and emigration barriers to the movement of people, and the emerging concept of boundaryless careers have all contributed to the phenomenon of Brain Circulation. Brain Circulation replaces the traditional concepts of Brain drain versus Brain gain because of the growing mobility of human talent across international boundaries. Implications, both theoretical and practical, are then discussed.

Brain Circulation to the UK? Knowledge and Investment Flows from Highly Skilled British Expatriates in Vancouver
Journal of Management Development, 2012Co-Authors: William S. HarveyAbstract:Purpose – This paper seeks to address two research questions: first, to what extent do highly skilled migrants intend to make personal business and financial investments in their home countries, and second, what factors influence them to invest in their home countries?Design/methodology/approach – The results are based on face‐to‐face and telephone interviews which took place between September, 2008 and March, 2009 with 64 highly skilled British migrants working in Vancouver, Canada. Respondents were asked a combination of open‐ and closed‐ended questions.Findings – The results of this study find that the vast majority of respondents are not investing in or intending to return to their home country, which indicates that they contributing to Brain Circulation in a limited extent.Practical implications – The paper argues that governments and organisations in the home country can play an important role in facilitating Brain Circulation in Europe.Originality/value – Much of the academic literature suggests th...

Brain Circulation? British and Indian Scientists in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Asian Population Studies, 2008Co-Authors: William S. HarveyAbstract:This article argues that despite the growing emphasis on Brain Circulation, most British and Indian scientists working in Boston, Massachusetts, USA are still contributing to a Brain drain in their home countries. I show that although the majority of respondents have regular, albeit different kinds of business contacts with their home countries, this has yet to translate into significant personal investments. Although most British and Indian scientists do not forge social contacts with professionals in their home countries, I suggest that such links could help induce investment in the UK and India in the future.

Serotonin 5-HT2 receptors and Brain Circulation.
Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 1990Co-Authors: Nicolas F. WiernspergerAbstract:Most evidence in the literature concerning the role of serotonin in ischemia originates from Brain research. This is partly because the central nervous system is particularly prone to accumulation of 5-HT, due to the neuronal sources of the amine in addition to circulating 5-HT from platelets. In ischemia, platelet invasion, rupture of the blood-Brain barrier, liberation of 5-HT from nerve terminals inside the vessel wall, and necrosis of serotonergic neurons favor local increases of the transmitter in the Brain. The pathophysiological consequences include amplifications of processes such as vasoconstriction of major and collateral arteries, edema formation, platelet aggregation, and blood sludging. 5-HT2 receptors appear to be the major effector of these actions of serotonin, judging from experimental and clinical pharmacology data with specific or partial 5-HT2 serotonergic antagonists. This review summarizes current knowledge on the key role serotonin plays in the induction or consequences of Brain ischemia.

1. Pan-African Brain Circulation
African Brain Circulation, 2007Co-Authors: Cynthia Lucas HewittAbstract:This chapter presents a quantitative analysis of the relationship between the number of immigrants from a country and the amount of United States (U.S.) direct investment into that country, showing a direct relationship supportive of the emerging Brain-Circulation model, and discusses the possible use of this model to assist in bringing about the goals of Pan-Africanism. The principles underlying Pan-Africanism are considered in respect to the outcomes of the movement, given the recent political economy of capitalism. Brain Circulation provides one focused approach to designing policies and projects for sustainable development in Africa that will impact the lives of Africans there and globally. The transnationalism paradigm, which provides analysis of immigrant communities' identification and allegiance both with their homeland and their U.S. communities, is useful in highlighting factors important to the global Pan-African networking that is required for a successful African/African American Brain Circulation. Keywords: Brain Circulation; immigrants; Pan-Africanism; transnationalism; United States (U.S.)

Transnational science guanxi: a necessary, but insufficient, condition for Sino-Danish flows of knowledge, talent and capital in genetics
International Journal of Business and Globalisation, 2016Co-Authors: Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen, Xiangyun Du, Morten Karnøe SøndergaardAbstract:Genetics is observed as a particularly active field of Sino-Danish science collaboration, Brain Circulation and funding. Explaining the level of activity of this scientific field is therefore valuable for understanding the conditions allowing such activity. This paper identifies Danish scientific excellence as a necessary, but insufficient, condition. This condition becomes sufficient together with another necessary, but insufficient, condition, which is Sino-Danish transnational science guanxi, or networks and acquaintanceship. This guanxi is based on the previous graduate studies of Chinese in Denmark, or Brain Circulation. The paper finds that Brain Circulation in the form of graduate students can have revolutionary long-term effects on Sino-Danish science collaboration and investments, exemplified in the location of Beijing Genomics Institute Europe in Copenhagen.

Sino-Danish Brain Circulation: scholarship, capacity and policy
International Journal of Business and Globalisation, 2014Co-Authors: Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen, Xiangyun Du, Morten Karnøe SøndergaardAbstract:China is faced with urgent needs to develop an economically and environmentally sustainable economy based on innovation and knowledge. Brain Circulation and research and business investments from the outside are central for this development. Sino-American Brain Circulation and research and investment by overseas researchers and entrepreneurs are well described. In that case, the US is the centre of global R&D and S&T. However, the Brain Circulation and research and investments between a small open Scandinavian economy, such as Denmark, and the huge developing economy of China are not well understood. In this case, Denmark is very highly developed, but a satellite in the global R&D and S&T system. With time and the growth of China as a R&D and S&T power house, both Denmark and China will benefit from Brain Circulation between them. Such Brain Circulation is likely to play a key role in flows of knowledge, technology and investments between Denmark and China. This paper describes these activities and analys...
