"This edited volume builds on the previously published Self-Initiated Expatriation: Individual, Organizational, and National Perspectives, which served to give in-depth insights into the concept and the processes of self-initiated expatriation and presented different groups undertaking self-initiated foreign career moves. While more than a hundred articles on self-initiated expatriation (SIE) have been published in the meanwhile, an examination of the research questions and samples of SIEs in published SIE research shows that the role of context and its impact on SIEs' career-related decisions and behaviors has not been explored sufficiently. This raises the question in how far existing research results are comparable. The aim of this follow-up volume is to deepen the understanding of SIEs' careers, focusing on the contextual influences of space, time and institutions on the heterogeneous SIE population. More specifically, the editors aim to shed light on spatial conditions in terms of the home and host country conditions on the self-initiated expatriation experience and examine developments over time in terms of temporality of conditions and SIEs' life-course. Moreover, the influence of the institutional context in terms of occupational, organizational and societal specificities will be analyzed. All chapters are based on strong theoretical foundations that serve to conceptualize "context" and are written by both established and emerging global academic and researchers. Self-Initiated Expatriates in Context contributes to conceptual clarity in the burgeoning field of SIE research by drawing attention to the importance of exploring context and, thus, boundary conditions to careers. It offers specific guidance for an improvement of future SIE-related research in order to enhance the validity of future empirical studies as well as for an improvement of managerial practice. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of international business, human resource management, organizational studies, and strategic management"--

Christian J. Jäggi's 'Migration und Flucht' explores the complex dynamics of migration and refugee movements, focusing on regional hotspots and their underlying causes. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of global migration trends, the socio-political factors driving these movements, and the challenges faced by migrants and refugees. It critiques current immigration policies, particularly in Europe and the United States, and advocates for more open and humane approaches to migration. Jäggi emphasizes the need for international cooperation and innovative policy solutions to address issues such as labor market integration and asylum seeker rights. The book is aimed at policymakers, scholars, and readers interested in understanding the multifaceted nature of migration and its implications for society.

This text presents a series of research articles written over the past four decades by leading economists George J. Borjas and Barry R. Chiswick. Borjas and Chiswick are leading experts on the adjustment of immigrants in their destination country and their impact on the economy. Although they worked separately throughout their careers, and did not always agree, their intellectual interaction has greatly increased understanding of the economic consequences of international migration and immigration policy across developed immigrant receiving countries.
