Pathways to Metropolis in the 21st Century – Immigration Issues and Futures Conference: Massey University, Albany, Auckland, 24-26 October, 2012
Principal Topic
Migrant entrepreneurship has grown into a significant topic of research internationally. One major milestone was the 1990 publication ‘Ethnic Entrepreneurs – Immigrant Businesses in Industrial Societies’, by Roger Waldinger et al. Another watershed moment was the introduction in 2001 of the mixed embeddedness concept by Robert Kloosterman and Jan Rath, which initiated a plethora of work (eg in New Zealand: Meares, Cain, & Spoonley, 2011).
