ABSTRACT
This book puts forward an alternative perspective of international education. Rather than viewing international education as a global trade in education, characterized by unproblematic flows of people, ideas, capital, and technology, and governed by simple supply-and-demand dynamics, this study seeks to map how international education is assembled and ordered by states, markets, institutions, and people under conditions of globalization. The study explores the types of subjectivities arising from, and informing, international education; the types of truths generated about international students and international education; the power-knowledge relations that inform these truths; and the practices that inform the governing of education markets—nationally and globally.
