    International Higher Education    2022.07  [Refereed]  [International journal]  [International coauthorship]

    　View Summary

    In studies about international student recruitment and mobility, the emphasis is primarily on South–North mobility to the Anglophone world. But the reality is more diverse. What are the challenges and opportunities of non-Anglophone countries, in particular in the Global South, shifting from mainly being sending countries toward striving to receive international students?

  • China–Global Relations: A Higher Education Cold War?

    Lizhou Wang, Wen Wen

    International Higher Education   105  2021.01  [Refereed]  [International coauthorship]

    　View Summary

    In 2020, as the discourse and initiatives of “decoupling” or “the new Cold War” deteriorate between the United States and China, higher education invariably comes under fire owing to its international nature. Higher education is premised on the existence of open and free global movements and exchanges to enable institutions and individuals to generate scientific production. How higher education holds its ground during these times of geopolitical turmoil is a question vital to its future.
