Denmark ; Employment ; Firm strategy ; Foreign worker ; Labour ; Local government unit ; Local labour market ; Social network ; Unemployment
The paper tests the hypothesis that social networks are crucial for regional recruitment and inflows of foreign labour. Danish municipal data from 1997-2006 reveal spatial sorting since initial shares of employees with a foreign background out
of total regional employment predict foreign labour inflow rates to regional employment. Social networks appear crucial for the recruitment and inflows rates to regional employment, suggesting that employee referrals and information about vacancies in local

In large part the human-centredness of much social science derives from a sharp divide, a dualism, between nature and society and between the work of natural and human scientists. The A. considers one attempt to transgress this divide and assess
the prospects for theories of this kind. Particular emphasis is on the transgression of the nature-society distinction in actor-network theory.

Centrality ; Cluster ; Connectivity ; Creative industry ; Finland ; Helsinki ; Industry ; Music ; Network ; Spatial concentration
municipalities (in terms of population) with a fair number of metal bands. Still, the capital Helsinki is the most prominent cluster of metal music in Finland. A further social network analysis reveals that the metal music cluster of Helsinki has a network
of short average path length and a high degree of clustering. In other words, the members of the network function in close collaboration with each other. This notion was also verified by mapping the joint-career path of the most prolific (connected
) individuals inside the network.
