[Air-l] research/ers on Diaspora and brain drain?

[Radhika Gajjala]

Charles - there is a body of research being done on what's known as  
"reverse brain drain" or "brain recirculation" - I wouldnt be tech  
determinist and say its "Because of the Internet" but there are  
various issues Economic and socio-cultural that surround the IT  
industry playing into this.

here's a reference I know of  through personal dialogue - (of course)  
and his biblio etc might take you to more readings in this are.

Gajjala V (2006) The Role of Information and Communication  
Technologies in Enhancing Processes of Entrepreneurship and  
Globalization in Indian Software Companies in The Electronic Journal  
of Information Systems in Developing Countries, Vol 26
