International Linkage and National Class Conflict: The Migration of Korean Nurses to the United States.

Ishi, Tomoji

Amerasia Journal, v14 n1 p23-50 1988

A world systems approach, using the idea of migrants flowing from periphery nations to core nations, is used to explain the migration of these and other professionals. The concept of national class conflict underlies the power relations of this phenomenon. (VM)
