This book focuses on critical issues and perspectives concerning
globally mobile students, aspects that have grown in importance
thanks to major geopolitical, economic, and technological changes
around the globe (i.e., in and across major origins and
destinations of international students). Over the past few decades,
the field of international higher education and scholarship has
developed robust areas of research that guide current policy,
programs, and pedagogy. However, many of the established narratives
and wisdoms that dominate research agendas, scope, and foci have
become somewhat ossified and are unable to reflect recent political
upheavals and other changes (e.g. the Brexit, Trump era, and Belt
and Road Initiative) that have disrupted a number of areas
including mobility patterns and recruitment practices,
understanding and supporting students, engagement of global mobile
students with their local counterparts, and the political economy
of international education at large. By re-assessing established
issues and perspectives in light of the emerging global/local
situations, the contributing authors - all experts on international
education - share insights on policies and practices that can help
adapt to emerging challenges and opportunities for institutions,
scholars, and other stakeholders in international higher education.
Including theoretical, empirical, and practitioner-based methods
and perspectives provided by scholars from around the world, the
book offers a unique and intriguing resource.

Community colleges in America have evolved a great deal from the
establishment of the first community college in Chicago 117 years
ago. The idea of American community colleges serves as a catalyst
for connective solutions between industry, college, and the
community on a global level. Global Adaptations of Community
College Infrastructure provides emerging research on various
contextual adaptations of the idea of the American community
college as a connective solution to engaging community and
industry. This research will help any nation or state forge
policies on adapting the concept toward democratization of economic
opportunities for all individuals as opposed to the current elitist
system of higher education. Featuring coverage on a broad range of
topics such as diploma pathway programs and the development of
education institutions in various countries, this book is ideally
designed for academicians, economic and educational policymakers,
higher education professionals, and individuals engaged in
expansion and democratization of post-secondary education
worldwide.
