The Many Faces of Global Mobility: Cosmopolitans and the Future of Work

In an age where more people than ever build their identities through international experiences, this multidisciplinary book investigates how movement across borders reshapes lives, workplaces and societies. Exploring the drivers of global mobility, leading experts provide practical guidance for supporting the inclusion and success of mobile professionals across multiple sectors.

Introducing 'cosmopolitans' as a growing group of global citizens, the book examines how this group values openness and cultural diversity and views this identity as a source of empowerment. Contributing authors discuss Finland as an in-depth case study, highlighting the country's acute need for international talent while acknowledging cultural and linguistic barriers to inclusion. The growing complexity of global mobility is also addressed considering technological advances, political tensions, pandemics and shifting legal frameworks. Ultimately, the book emphasises, and argues for, the importance of mobility in today's society.

The Many Faces of Global Mobility is a key resource for scholars and students in international business, management and migration studies, especially those seeking a greater understanding of contemporary mobility and the future of work. Practitioners and policy makers concerned with migration, inclusion and demographic challenges will also find its insights invaluable.
