Two recent articles in University World News highlight the recent shifts in the global international student market. Hans de Wit (Boston College) writes that the Global North is regaining stability after a period of chaos caused by anti-immigration rhetoric, student cap policies, and rising tuition fees. De Wit notes that this period has harmed several countries’ reputations while, at the same time, leading student-sending countries in Asia and Africa have become more attractive to their own students and welcomed more international students. Gwilym Croucher (University of Melbourne) and Christopher Ziguras (UMelborne) compare how Australia, Canada, and the UK have responded to surging international student numbers through new policies and enrolment caps. They conclude by asserting that Australia is taking the most extreme approach of the three countries in managing international enrolments.
