“This book offers an in-depth overview of student mobility by focusing on less-discussed areas and making connections between neoliberalism, globalization, and education. … The analysis in Student Mobilities, Migration and the Internationalization of Higher Education could certainly shed some light on the policy decision-making process in Canada.” (Jing Xiao, Canadian Journal of Higher Education, Vol. 45 (4), 2015)
