ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book begins as a journey with research questions and ended as a retelling of that journey's story and its situational elements. It examines a research question: Who are the representatives, organisations, and institutions involved in the recruitment and placement of Filipino nurses in Finland?; What social worlds are they representing?; and How do the representatives, organisations, and institutions socially interact and relate? The book engages with the discipline of international human resource management (IHRM) by empirically highlighting actors, organisations, and institutions that are practicing human resource management across national borders through complex networks of historically and socially situated practices and processes. It suggests a transnational feminist framework (transnational + feminist). The book also examines the transnationalisation of care through value chains of nurse work like Global Nurse Care Chains.
