{"product_id":"fostering-short-term-international-student-mobility","title":"Fostering Short-Term International Student Mobility","description":"Drawing together a wide variety of original empirical research from across the world, this key title explores schemes that have sought to promote short-term international student mobility. It focuses on both regional and national initiatives aiming to foster border-crossing, examining the specificities of particular schemes, as well as points of connection and similarity.   With a broad geographical focus, the book analyses national schemes from Australia, Brazil, Hungary, Sardinia, Turkey, the UK and Wales. It also explores regional programmes – particularly the European Union’s Erasmus Scheme and the Nordplus Scheme, which operates in the Nordic region of Europe. While individual chapters consider both the successes and challenges of these schemes, the book as a whole develops a comparative analysis, bringing the various chapters into dialogue. It explores cross-cutting issues related to social inclusion and equity; (geo)politics and culture; and the seemingly ephemeral nature of many schemes that have aimed to foster mobility. It also examines countries and regions of the world that continue to be neglected in extant scholarship on this topic.   Fostering Short-Term International Student Mobility will be of interest to scholars across the disciplines of education, sociology, human geography and social policy. It provides new insights while also offering a novel comparative perspective. In addition, it will appeal to individuals engaging directly with students on short-term international mobility programmes, working in policy- or practice-related roles.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536499941749,"sku":"9781041115120","price":43.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/fostering-short-term-international-student-mobility","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
