Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The popularity of international work and educationopportunities is growing exponentially. Theoccurrence of young adults who graduate fromuniversity and head to a foreign country for work orliving experiences grows more and more common. Theyacquire an international network of contacts and mayoften spend several years in several differentcountries before settling in one country or headinghome. This is a group that is largely falling throughthe cracks of cultural studies as the existingthreads of research fail to define it. In attemptingto do so here, this discussion goes beyond the claimthat globalization is changing cultures. It addressesa particular aspect of globalization, that ofmobility, and exemplifies how it is changing some ofthe traditional concepts of culture and identity,such as with these 'New Global Nomads'. Major themes revolve around existing 'ThirdCulture Kid' research, the rise and consequences ofmobility as an adult lifestyle choice, and to whatextent study abroad may be the link between them.
