Higher Education on the Move: New Developments in Global Mobility This report, the second in a series of Global Education Research Reports sponsored by the AIFS Foundation and the Institute of International Education (IIE), explores the effects of recent developments in higher education, the world economy, and government policy on global student and scholar mobility. Authors ask how these processes affect the most commonly discussed aspect of international education — the movement of students and scholars across national borders.
