This book provides a cutting-edge analysis of the ways in which
higher education institutions have become more international over
the past two decades. Drawing upon a range of post-foundational
spatial, network, and mobilities theories, the book shifts our
thinking away from linear, binary, Western accounts of
internationalization to understand the complex, multi-centered and
contradictory ways in which internationalization processes have
played out across a wide variety of higher education landscapes
worldwide. The author explores transnational student, scholar,
knowledge, program and provider mobilities; the production of
mobile bodies, knowledges, and identities; the significance of
place in internationalization; and the crucial role that global
university rankings play in reshaping the spatial landscape of
higher education.
