Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

This book explores European student migration from the perspectives of Eastern European students moving to Western Europe for study. Whilst most research on student migration in Europe focuses on the experiences of Western European students this book uniquely casts a light on Eastern European student migrants moving to the ‘West’. Mette Ginnerskov-Dahlberg deploys a novel approach to the subject by drawing on insights gleaned from a longitudinal study of master's students pursuing an education abroad and their multifaceted journeys after graduation. Thereby she brings their narratives to life and highlights the changes and continuities they experienced over a period of seven years fostering an understanding of student mobility as an activity enmeshed with adult commitments and long-term aspirations. Using Denmark as a case study of a host country Ginnerskov-Dahlberg analyses the trajectories of these students and situates their experiences within the wider socio-historical context of Eastern European post-socialism and the contemporary dynamics between EU and non-EU citizens in the welfare state of Denmark – reflecting issues playing out on the global stage today. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of migration and mobility studies as well as human geography sociology higher education area studies and anthropology. | Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

Non-Western Nations and the Liberal International Order Responding to the Backlash in the West

Non-Western Nations and the Liberal International Order Responding to the Backlash in the West

Given the increasing presence of non-Western nations in global affairs Hiro Katsumata and Hiroki Kusano explore their responses to the backlash taking place in the West against the global spread of liberalism – against the global spread of free trade multilateral institutions and liberal-democratic politics. Katsumata and Kusano concentrate on the cases of Egypt Brazil Japan ASEAN members Russia and China. Mounted by these non-Western nations are three kinds of responses: illiberal bandwagoning counter-backlash and thirdway charting. Each of these responses inevitably has significant consequences for the fate of the existing liberal international order established and sustained by the Western countries in the post-war era either accelerating the collapse of this order by causing additional damage to it or putting the brakes on its collapse by giving support to it. An invaluable resource for scholars in International Relations and Comparative Politics. | Non-Western Nations and the Liberal International Order Responding to the Backlash in the West
