Abstract:
Globalization has transformed spatial relations, increasing the demand for mobility. Literature tends to see the de-emphasizing of national identity and the foregrounding of a cosmopolitan identity as central to an individuals ability to navigate this global landscape. For individuals who are constantly moving the question is how do globally mobile workers navigate the intersection of identity, meaningfulness and place? This interpretivist study explores this question through an analysis of 68 semi-structured interviews with individuals engaged in different forms of global mobility, ranging from traditional expatriate assignments through to global commuting and business travel.
Keywords:
belonging; cosmopolitan identity; expatriates; globally mobile workers; home; mobility; social networks
