“…There exist numerous schemes in such countries as Scotland, Ireland, China, Croatia, Thailand, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands to reconnect overseas scientists with home, either through return migration or through visiting fellowships. Wang, Zweig, and Lin ( 2011 ) provide a profi le of the case of China in particular, a country with an established reverse brain drain strategy. Terrazas ( 2010b ) also provides a useful overview of programmes which seek to harness the energy of diasporic volunteers even if only for a brief duration.…”

“…David Zweig and Wang Huiyao, in turn, have weighed China's recent efforts to lure back top talent, noting both the extent and limit of the country's success in this regard. With Lin Xiaohua, they have also described how the successes that these recent efforts have achieved have spurred China's development (Wang et al 2011). On the Indian side, recent work by Devesh Kapur has noted not only that India suffers from a serious outflow of talent, but also that this outflow creates incentives for many Indians to invest more in education in order to pursue such opportunities À a 'brain gain' (Kapur 2010, 119À22).…”

Are China and India emerging as innovative technological powerhouses in the twenty-first century? This essay reviews the interdisciplinary debate that has been inspired by this question in recent years. It begins by considering recent studies that are relatively impressed with China's and India's recent accomplishments and potential in this regard. Next, it reviews works that are less impressed with their track records and prospects. It then considers a series of more equivocal studies that remain more or less undecided about China's and India's technological trajectories. The final section evaluates the debate as a whole and proposes new directions for scholarship in this field.Technological creativity represents a key source of national power, a point long recognized by international relations scholars. New technologies not only spur economic growth and national prosperity, but can also provide states with leverage in international trade. New technologies from railroads to nuclear energy have also generated new sources of military power, at least for states that can surmount the financial and organizational hurdles to military innovation (Horowitz 2010). Moreover, nations vary widely in their innovative capacities. Long-cycle theorists, who have probed the

Gaining greater knowledge of the characteristics of large firms that dominate the global economy is an inherently important endeavour. Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRIC economies) have gained influence in the global economy and this is reflected in the increasing weight of their companies in Fortune Global 500 rankings. Uneven access to data and information makes understanding the strategy, structure, ownership and performance of large business an ambitious programme of research. The BRIC economies are different from each other and this is also true as far as the heights of their respective business worlds are considered. But they also share some crucial features: concentrated ownership, with governments and families at the helm, diversification and internationalisation.
