Beskrivning
Drawing together a wide variety of original empirical research from across the world, this key title explores schemes that have sought to promote short-term international student mobility. It focuses on both regional and national initiatives aiming to foster border-crossing, examining the specificities of particular schemes, as well as points of connection and similarity.With a broad geographical focus, the book analyses national schemes from Australia, Brazil, Hungary, Sardinia, Turkey, the UK and Wales. It also explores regional programmes – particularly the European Union’s Erasmus Scheme and the Nordplus Scheme, which operates in the Nordic region of Europe. While individual chapters consider both the successes and challenges of these schemes, the book as a whole develops a comparative analysis, bringing the various chapters into dialogue. It explores cross-cutting issues related to social inclusion and equity; (geo)politics and culture; and the seemingly ephemeral nature of many schemes that have aimed to foster mobility. It also examines countries and regions of the world that continue to be neglected in extant scholarship on this topic.Fostering Short-Term International Student Mobility will be of interest to scholars across the disciplines of education, sociology, human geography and social policy. It provides new insights while also offering a novel comparative perspective. In addition, it will appeal to individuals engaging directly with students on short-term international mobility programmes, working in policy- or practice-related roles.

This book provides a timely and much-needed global perspective on short-term international student mobility. By combining insights into participation patterns and persistent inequalities with rich, context-sensitive case studies of national and regional schemes, the book deepens our understanding of mobility as both an opportunity and a policy instrument. A highly readable and valuable resource for anyone interested in the future of international higher education.Lene Møller Madsen, University of Copenhagen, UKWith the notable exception of Erasmus+, little has been known about short‑term, non‑degree mobility beyond Europe. This timely collection widens the lens, assembling a fascinating set of initiatives from across the world while keeping a sharp focus on equity. Brooks and Waters and their contributors lay bare the political projects underpinning these schemes and the social and geographical inequalities that traverse them.Vassilki Papatsiba, Cardiff University, UKThis versatile collection on short term mobility unpacks the foreign policy, public diplomacy and labour market aspects or student mobility in a new way. The chapters demonstrate why especially a focus on regional modes of short-term mobility helps understand the political nature of mobility in many contexts in a more profound way, and why a look at short term mobility is essential in gaining new insights into the (geo-)political porosity of student mobility that was never just about education. Brooks and Waters close with an important call for geographically and linguistically more diverse research on short term mobility.Taina Saarinen, Research Professor, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
