“…This may attract employees into the field, however, once working; they will be exposed to these negative features, which potentially may lead them to leave work. In essence however, it should be expected that negative aspects of anything is balanced by positives (Szivas and Riley, 2002). This suggests that it should be expected that the perception of the industry is likely to have some negatives, at the same time, some positives are attributed.…”

Global Change and Human Mobility

Global Change and Human Mobility is the title of this volume, published in the series of Springer essays dealing with all the aspects considered in the Advances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences. The title of the book appeals to scholars interested in the issue of change and mobility across the world, both empirically and theoretically, offering a selection of studies developed by members of the International Geographical Union Commission (see www.globility.org) on this subject, from both thematic and geographical perspectives. Owing to its ability to link locations and societies, human mobility has received increasing academic attention over the last few years in the context of the globalization process. As a manifestation of some of the world's key political, economic, societal, and cultural issues, human mobility has acquired great importance in the social sciences and particularly in geography. The chapters of this book demonstrate the strength of this topic in looking at a changing world from the focus of a new disciplinary approach. From these contributions, it can be seen that human mobility transforms the perspective of migrations conceived as processes between points of origin and destination, analyzing the fluidity of the relations between spaces. Therefore, new tendencies of human mobility and new interpretations of old processes overlap in this book's chapters. Chapter 1 is dedicated to a theoretical reflection about the state of the art in the subject of human mobility and is written by Professor Armando Montanari and Dr. Barbara Staniscia from the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. Professor Montanari established the Commission on Global Change and Human Mobility within the International Geographical Union in the year 2000, while Dr. Staniscia is the current Scientific Secretary of the Commission. Chapter 2 offers a perspective of the reaction of migration systems in the current context of global financial and economic crisis. Professors Daniel G€ oler from the University of Bamberg in Germany and Zaiga Krišjāne from the University of Latvia develop a broad reflection on the "regional element" of transnationalism, opening that concept with a new transregional perspective drawn from the v
