Global Talent Strategies and Transnational Networks
At the time of accelerated globalization and advent of the knowledge economy, global talent mobility and transnational networks has become a defining characteristic of a nation’s competitiveness. This research area is concerned with the impact of globalization upon different governments’ talent management strategies, “war for talents”, Chinese diaspora and brain circulation in both domestic and international contexts, exploring in detail and comparatively, talent strategies and challenges in Singapore, China, the United States and Southeast Asia. In the dynamic landscape of today’s global workforce and entrepreneurship, talent mobility has emerged as a pivotal strategy for organisations to thrive on an international scale, this research will also critically assess the impact of talent strategies not just on domestic and global talents, but also on the public policies and higher education governance within which talent mobility is to be situated.

Celia Lee, Talent Strategies and Leadership Development of the Public Sector: Insights from Southeast Asia (London: Routledge, 2021)
 | This book as part of the Routledge Focus on Public Governance in Asia series adopts a comparative country analysis, which takes into account the institutional emphasis, organisational configuration and unique characteristics of the public sector. Against the backdrop of three major stages of administrative development, i.e., the colonial, postcolonial and modern periods, this book unpacks how the talent schemes have been shaped by the reforms, experiences, cross-country knowledge transfers and evolved over time responding to globalisation and digitalisation in Southeast Asia. |
 | A panel on “Brain Circulation and Knowledge Transfer: A Comparative Study of Talent Strategies and Dynamic Governance in Asia and Europe” was organized on 1 June 2017 at the 2017 IIAS International Congress. Drawing on case studies from different countries, this panel uncovers and explains the importance of urban governance, philanthropy, entrepreneurship and diaspora towards migrant integration in greater depth. |
