More About the Author
Product Description
Review
?The book surveys research on international study issued during the past two decades and the relevant literature available in English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. The essay portion places international study in historical perspective, reviews past research, highlights the gaps in the research, and sets the context for a political economy of international study. Topics include the attitudes of international students and the host population; recruiting, admitting, and advising foreign students; academic achievement; evaluation of exchange programs; health issues; cost-benefit analysis; and foreign policy issues for governments. The bibliography is a selective and partially annotated list of 2,800 published and readily available studies, books, journal and magazaine articles, reports, and dissertations. It is topically organized and includes literature on a wide range of issues such as women's studies, studies in Eastern Bloc countries and China, foreign students in Third World countries, study at the community college level as well as at the university level, the cultural environment, and finally, returning to and reentering one's home country.?-Higher Education Abstracts
Product Description
The number of foreign students attending universities in the United States has expanded and their role has become a topic for research. Nations sending students to study in the U.S. are concerned with curriculum, how to reintegrate Western trained thinkers into the country's intellectual, professional, and social life, and the effects of "brain drain." This bibliographical volume provides a comprehensive overview of the research that has been done on these subjects and points out the areas which have thus far been neglected by the researchers.
