Against the backdrop of growing anti-globalisation sentiments and
increasing fragmentation of the production process across
countries, this book addresses how the Indonesian economy should
respond and how Indonesia should shape its trade and industrial
policies in this new world trade environment. The book introduces
evaluation not on tariffs but on new trade instruments such as
non-tariff measures (SPS, TBT, export measures and beyond border
measures), and looks at industrial policies from a broader
perspective such as investment, accessing inputs, labour, services,
research and innovation policies. "The Open Access version of this

Skilled immigration into rich countries and competition for talent
and professional skills are of major concern among nations today.
Comprehensive immigration reform addressed to illegal immigration
predictably foundered in Congress last year. This revived the
question of skilled immigration and was hastily added to the
proposed reform agenda in the hope that it would bring more
pro-immigration troops into battle. Immigration reform still failed
but it will not die. The specific issue of skilled immigration, and
how to redesign it, will remain one of the central issues before
the world community as well.
How important is this phenomenon? How do the legal-immigration
systems of rich countries address this need? How do professional
associations that may find such inflows a threat to their members'
earnings seek to curtail these flows? What are the implications on
the sending countries, which are generally less developed, when
rich countries admit skilled professionals from them? Is it correct
to object that the rich countries are depriving the poor ones of
badly needed professionals (especially in Africa)? What should our
immigration policies be in this regard? How should tax policy, for
example, be changed in light of the growing phenomenon of skilled
migrant flows? These and a host of related policy questions are
addressed uniquely in Skilled Immigration Today. Bhagwati and
Hanson present an informed awareness of the rich historical
analysis of the phenomenon and several policy initiatives already
attempted with sophisticated theoretical analysis. The essays, with
an overview that ties them together, are written by today's
foremost immigration experts.
Immigration is right at the top of the political agenda for the
21st century. This book draws together and unifies analysis of
immigration into the major EU countries and the US, presenting in
an accessible and clear way the major trends and dramatic
developments of the past decade. While the influence of the welfare
state on immigration incentives is a key issue, various other
influences on both legal and illegal migration are analysed,
together with the implications of migration for the market outcomes
on these two continents.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a global movement with more than
half a million Ghanaian members, runs an extensive network of
English-language schools and medical facilities in Ghana today.
Founded in South Asia in 1889, the Ahmadiyya arrived in Ghana when
a small coastal community invited an Ahmadiyya missionary to visit
in 1921. Why did this invitation arise and how did the Ahmadiyya
become such a vibrant religious community? John H. Hanson places
the early history of the Ahmadiyya into the religious and cultural
transformations of the British Gold Coast (colonial Ghana).
Beginning with accounts of the visions of the African Methodist
Binyameen Sam, Hanson reveals how Sam established a Muslim
community in a coastal context dominated by indigenous expressions
and Christian missions. Hanson also illuminates the Islamic
networks that connected this small Muslim community through London
to British India. African Ahmadi Muslims, working with a few South
Asian Ahmadiyya missionaries, spread the Ahmadiyya's theological
message and educational ethos with zeal and effectiveness. This is
a global story of religious engagement, modernity, and cultural
transformations arising at the dawn of independence.

Immigration policy is one of the most contentious public policy
issues in the United States today. High-skilled immigrants
represent an increasing share of the U.S. workforce, particularly
in science and engineering fields. These immigrants affect economic
growth, patterns of trade, education choices, and the earnings of
workers with different types of skills. The chapters in this volume
go beyond the traditional question of how the inflow of foreign
workers affects native employment and earnings to explore effects
on innovation and productivity, wage inequality across skill
groups, the behavior of multinational firms, firm-level dynamics of
entry and exit, and the nature of comparative advantage across
countries.

John Hanson s thoroughly researched study revises

This book addresses the pivotal role American institutions of
higher education must play if the United States is to succeed in a
global society and economy. Containing papers presented at a
symposium held in late 1992 at MIT, this important book identifies
three critical resources: human capital, financial capital, and
intellectual capital. All 11 chapters focus in some way on the use
of these resources toward effective functionality of U.S. colleges
and universities in a global environment. The book also
personalizes this discussion with instructive examples of
comprehensive international strategy drawn from internationalizing
the curriculum experiences at Carleton College, MIT, and the
University of Pennsylvania. This enlightening and thought-provoking
volume is for college and university presidents, administrators,
and trustees, and for policymakers in federal government
agencies.
