The landscape of European migration has changed considerably over the past decades, in particular after the fall of the iron curtain and again after the EU enlargement to the east. The author researches the phenomenon of highly qualified migration using the example of migration between the Czech Republic and Germany. The book reveals diverse strategies migrants use to respond to the possible de-valuation of their qualification, e.g. by making use of their language skills, starting new studies or using transnational knowledge. The author investigates the role of migration within the biographies, the shifts of social positions, as well as the ways migrants negotiate their skills, qualification and knowledge across the borders. Based on biographical narrative interviews, she investigates the migration pathways and the processes of social mobility. The study investigates the influence developments within the Czech society have on migration decisions and transnational spaces as well as on the 'translation' of qualifications, competencies and knowledge across borders. It is grounded in 'gender sensitive' biographical and migration research. Migration is shown to be a strategy to extend one's room for manoeuvre, e.g. as a reaction to structural changes in the home regions. Furthermore the author shows that qualifications, competencies and knowledge are often de-valued and re-valued during migration, mainly due to restrictive policies, a lack of acknowledgement of foreign qualification, and discrimination on the labour market. The migrants display a number of strategies to cope with these challenges. 'Transnational knowledge' plays an important part here, as well as the continuation or new beginning of professional studies.... weniger
