Alemu, Sintayehu Kassaye; Qu, Mei; Sakhiyya, Zulfa – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2022
From the perspective of peripheralised countries, internationalisation is imbalanced and hegemonic, as it is predominantly constructed by universities in the Global North. We explore the imbalanced internationalisation from the cases of sub-Saharan Africa through the dominance of Western knowledge systems and brain drain; China through isolation…

Brooks, Rachel; Waters, Johanna – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2021
This paper explores the contemporary relationship between international student migration and diaspora formation. It argues that international students have been largely absent from recent discussions of 'knowledge diasporas', where migrants' 'home' states attempt to harness and co-opt the skills and knowledge of their émigrés. This is surprising,…

Yang, Rui – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2020
Globalisation and the shift towards a knowledge economy have made researchers among the most sought-after resources.

Creating world-class universities (WCUs) has recently become a significant policy and practice in higher education in China under the Double World-Class Project.

Ma, Yuping; Pan, Suyan – Frontiers of Education in China, 2015

With reference to China, this article…
