This volume investigates how international students in and from the Middle East are constructed by nations, institutions, other students, and themselves. Making a valuable contribution to understanding the nuances and complexities of educational politics and priorities affecting these constructions, the text considers the broader impacts of discourse on internationalisation. Offering a unique combination of critical analysis of educational policies combined with empirical contributions through authors’ own research, chapters highlight intersections between politics, the internationalisation of higher education, and the construction of mobile learners. Emphasising variation and nuance in the internationalisation of policies in the Gulf Cooperation Countries, and other Middle Eastern countries, the volume offers a theoretical framework to help understand the political, educational, and ethical implications of emerging constructions of international students and their comparison across the Middle East. This timely volume will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in higher education, international and comparative education, as well as the Middle East more specifically. Those involved with educational education policy and politics, specifically related to the Middle East, will also benefit from this volume.

Students seeking higher education outside their country of origin is a growing phenomenon. The United States is the largest host nation but has been losing market share as other countries increase their efforts to recruit international students. Surprisingly, after several years of decline, the rate of growth in students from Saudi Arabia has surpassed the rate of growth for all foreign students choosing higher education institutions (HEIs) in the United States since 2006. The history of international education in the United States and the current state of education in the Middle East provided background for an analysis of the political factors that resulted in the change. This dissertation also assessed the mechanisms of choice and motivations of Saudis students that led to attending an HEI in the United States. Student choice theory, expectancy theory, economic theories including human capital theory and comparative advantage, students as consumers, and social constructs such as intergroup contact and diffusion of innovation theory were used to design semi-structured interviews among various stakeholder and an online survey of Saudi students to learn how and why they chose the HEI they currently attended. Saudi students were influenced in their decision to study in the United States by the availability of scholarships from the Saudi government and by the implementation of the SEVIP visa system that facilitated their choice of country. In addition, Saudi students were asked about their experiences at HEIs in the United States and their attitudes toward the United States, western social and political norms and possible modernization of Saudi society. These results were compared to survey data from students who remained in Saudi Arabia for higher education. The comparison shows that Saudi students in the U.S. have a more favorable opinion of the United States than before studying here, increased approval for greater gender equality and western values such as respect for human rights and women's education and employment. This research contains recommendations for HEIs that want to recruit Saudi students and improve their integration into the campus community.

This book examines an emergent pattern of international student mobility: that of international students from across the African continent who are enrolled on degree programmes at Chinese universities. China is among the most popular destination countries for African students, yet there has been little research to-date into this emergent mobility pattern. Drawing on data from a series of interviews, the book focuses on the specific modalities of integration into the global economy of both the sending region and the host country, and examines how these shape the decision-making, experiences, and future aspirations of mobile students. It also highlights how incipient flows of international student migrants, such as those between various African countries and China, are calling into question a number of the axioms around the study of international study mobility that were developed with reference to more established migration patterns, which tend to flow from other regions to the West. These include, for example, the idea that international students are generally privileged members of the global middle class who seek an education abroad as part of a strategy to accumulate cultural capital and reproduce social privilege. This novel work is of interest to researchers in human geography, sociology, development studies, migration studies, and particularly those studying China-Africa relations.
