The Emerald Handbook of Women and Entrepreneurship in Developing Economies examines women's role in entrepreneurial practices in a range of developing countries and applies unique strategic contextual frameworks to analyse, interpret and understand individual processes, themes and issues. This book brings together a truly global range of scholarly voices to examine women and entrepreneurship in developing nations, exploring their practices and motivations in relation to individual, societal and institutional factors, with gender roles, role models and entrepreneurial ecosystems among the many issues interrogated. This ambitious collection presents an illuminating and ground breaking analysis of opportunities, innovations, issues and structural limits across countries which are underrepresented in the available literature to date and will be enlightening reading for all those interested in new entrepreneurial theory and practice.

Denmark has transformed from having one of the world's most liberal immigration laws and most humanitarian asylum policies in the 1980s, to being strongly unwelcoming to non-Western immigrants and asylum-seekers, especially after the legislative 'paradigm shift', that was persistently pushed through by Danish People party (DP) in recent decades. The change came about due to some fundamental cultural, economic and political circumstances, among which the following should be highlighted: the crisis of the universality of the universal welfare state, the EU enlargement, which provided Denmark with workers culturally similar to locals and the results of integration policies, or more importantly, the dominant subjective interpretation of them in recent decades. We argue that these factors, among many others, have influenced Denmark's priorities with regard to who, among future migrants, will be welcome to reside in the country. The formerly so-called 'extreme right discourse' is now institutionalised and is here to stay. ; Denmark has transformed from having one of the world's most liberal immigration laws and most humanitarian asylum policies in the 1980s, to being strongly unwelcoming to non-Western immigrants and asylum-seekers, especially after the legislative 'paradigm shift', that was persistently pushed through by Danish People party (DP) in recent decades.

This article brings the role of talent migration to the discussion of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) mainly focusing on academic talents. We explore the foundation for BRI's talent development as a long-term and gradual process building on policies dating back to China's opening in 1978. China's opening saw an increased number of individuals who could improve their skills, knowledge, and network from China globally or inside China from elsewhere on the globe. These global experiences have resulted in the Chinese government, companies, and institutions' necessity to compete for talent or human resources on a global "market". We interpret the call for establishing people-to-people connections within the BRI as an intensification of China's existing talent strategy. However, at a micro-level, we continue to find that international talents and returned migrants perceive themselves as outsiders which hinders China's talent attraction policies and results in a circular movement of academic talents to and from China
