About this book
Reviews
“Theoretically and empirically rich, this book brings novel angles of analysis to current studies of the internationalization of universities. It provides a valuable overview of such studies and persuasively challenges conventional wisdom. Inviting us to think afresh, it sets in motion a research agenda that will revitalize the field.” (Jane Kenway, Professorial Fellow, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, Melbourne University, Australia)
“Marianne Larsen ‘cleans up’ a discussion of internationalization in higher education that has become sticky with many different normative terms and ambiguous agendas. She lays down a clear-minded set of spatial guidelines for the field that can make us more effective at the global level in both scholarship and practice. Highly recommended.” (Simon Marginson, Director of the Centre for Global Higher Education at University College London, UK, and Joint Editor-in-Chief of “Higher Education”)
“Larsen’s book provides an important lens of analysis to the study of internationalization by using spatial, network and mobility theories. She adroitly challenges readers to shift from a more ‘linear, deterministic, and Western-centric’ approach to a ‘multi-centered and worldwide’ frame of analysis. A critical contribution to the literature on higher education internationalization.” (Jane Knight, Adjunct Professor, Ontario Institute for Education, University of Toronto, Canada)
