I虽然仍有印度人出国工作或学习，但是越来越多的移民国外的印度人却选择回归故里寻找机会。前美国国家地理摄影师史蒂芬•雷默(Steven Raymer)教授说,“据估计，自2003年以来,仅信息技术专业人员就有大约50000到60000人次从海外回到印度，大多数回到了新德里,海得拉巴和班加罗尔的郊区，班加罗尔尤甚。印度人将这一现象称为‘人才流入’（brain gain）”。但他们的返乡之路可能并不会全部用金子铺就:当前的经济危机给IT服务行业蒙上了阴影，为了减少成本,一些印度公司甚至要将在墨西哥和中国的外包业务转到越南和菲律宾等更便宜的地方。印度政府为持有外国护照的印度人延长双重国籍的期限，...

班加罗尔:印度南部城市班加罗尔，曾经秩序井然地坐落着殖民地时期的建筑和精心维护的花园之中。但是现在这一地区的居民们却不得不戴上耳塞,来抵挡 降街道上强大的噪音。印度返乡的技术人员是这些噪音的源头之一，之前他们移民西方,曾被哀叹为”人才流失”,现在这些印度移民归来,带回了自己的外国护 照,外国银行帐户和有时候更为西化的家人,...
伴随着灾后重建，灾难带来了新开端和新视角。无论是誓言就地重建还是修复或异地再建，复兴日本的各方主体都将竭力追求安全和改善。本次上下两篇的耶鲁全球在线系列报道探讨了春季地震和海啸给日本政治、能源政策和经济造成的转型性的影响。《亚洲哨兵》的编辑约翰•伯瑟尔森在下篇中解释说，这次灾难已经促使日本制造业者在亚洲寻找新的场所，这能加速本来就已经因为劳动力成本太高、高昂的日元、严厉的环保管制和不断升高的能源成本而开始的海外转移趋势。日本的“技术发展在消费电子产品、光纤、光电子、汽车生产和其他许多优质技术方面居世界前列，其他许多国家都无法与之匹敌，”伯瑟尔森解释说，...
香港：为了尽快从3月11日开始的大地震、海啸和核电厂熔毁中恢复元气，最近几周，日本政府官员和许多中小企业主已经在亚洲呈扇形散开，为制造业寻找新场地。
但是，此举不仅是对灾难做出的简单反应，而且可能加速工业供应链的长期变化。现在被称为3-11事件的3月大地震造成大约25000人死亡和16万人离开家园，导致日本制造业暂时的中断，还可能对其产生长远的影响。制造业移居海外的加速将掏空日本工业基地。

陷入僵局的多哈回合贸易谈判历时近十年，数次遭遇搁置。国际经济学教授理查德•鲍德温（Richard Baldwin）和国际贸易学教授西蒙•艾弗奈特（Simon Evenett）指出，谈判主要参与方迫于国内政治议程的压力很难做出让步，这种僵持局面使得完成谈判所剩的时间越来越少。经济不景气、即将来临的大选以及扩大议程的企图只会令谈判前景更为扑朔迷离。两位作者提醒说：“倘若年内无法完成多哈回合，WTO的权威以及该组织在全球贸易治理中的中心地位将遭到侵蚀。” 他们特别敦促美国和中国领导人推动本国公民和企业达成共识，让他们认识到他们可以从开放的多边贸易体制、...

日内瓦：这场旷日持 久、被称作“多哈回合”（Doha Round）的多边贸易谈判走到了最后的三岔路口。4月29日，世界贸易组织各成员代表力图打破多哈回合的僵局，但最终却仅以同意继续谈判的结果收场。谈 判所剩的时间越来越少。除非这轮谈判能在年内圆满结束，否则主要参与方在未来数年内的政治议程将使得重启谈判几乎成为不可能。
