The first question that comes to mind when reading this topic may be: Why is the study of expatriation important, of what concern is it to us, when we are not expatriates? Theswer is simple: Globalization. The opening up of Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Vietnam; the proposed unification of European markets; the growth of developing countries like Indonesia and Thailand, and the rise of regional economic groups such as the North American Free Trade Agreement 0^AFTA), the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the European Union (EU), and the European Free Trade Agreement (EFTA) have opened up a wide variety of business activities, and Multi-National Enterprises (MNEs) are hurrying to take advantage of such opportunities.
