Dear colleagues,
Greetings from Uppsala and I hope that this email finds you well.
I am happy to let you know that my article on Scalar Politics and Network Relations in the
Governance of Highly Skilled Migration has been published in Geographical Review.
The article brings together literatures on scalar politics and policy networks to investigate the roles of nonstate actors in highly skilled migration governance in Norway’s petroleum industry. It makes three arguments. First, national state actors have clearly delineated the spheres of influence in highly skilled migration policymaking. These boundary-setting practices ensure that the state remains in charge of key domains related to international migration and employment. Second, place shapes the (re)scaling and networking practices of public and nonstate actors. Third, new, nonstate actors have emerged that transcend scalar hierarchies through public-private partnerships. The most influential state actors, however, refrain from these alliances to remain neutral in politically charged issues.
The open-access article is available here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00167428.2021.1884980
Best wishes,
Micheline
