This book brings together theory, research findings, and insights in an examination of the complex relations between economic globalization and international education. Using the three largest exporters of education (The US, UK, and Australia) as case studies, it describes the first world international education industry, the national policies that support this industry, and the marketing "narratives" that are used to promote international education.
