China's rise is having a large impact on the global science system.
The internalisation of this system in the past two decades would
not have been possible without the outbound and especially the
return flows of overseas Chinese scientists. This book explores
their impact combining macro-level institutional and statistical
analysis with an account of how the research culture has changed at
the operational level. The theoretical framework used departs from
the human capital approach, by building on literature from
migration studies and evolutionary theories of the science system.
It presents the results of an innovative mix of quantitative and
qualitative methodological approaches. Overseas Chinese scientists
and returnees are shown to have played an important role in shaping
the internal development of the Chinese research system, as well as
its relationship with research systems in Western Europe and North
America. Now that the situation is improving, return has become an
increasingly interesting option for expatriate researchers. This
development may result in a virtuous cycle. Based on extensive and
original empirical research Mobility, Migration and the Chinese
Scientific Research System will be of interest to scholars and
postgraduate students of research systems in general and the
Chinese research and innovation system in particular.
