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.
