    "U.S. Power in International Higher Education provides a welcome critical perspective concerning the complexities of global higher education relations."
    - Philip G. Altbach (Founding Director, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College)
    "Sharp, focused, and highly original, this collection will permanently change thinking about international higher education in the United States.”
    - Simon Marginson (Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford)
    "A unique and timely collection which uncovers the United States's concentration of geo-political power in international higher education in the context of a pandemic, growing cross-national suspicion and the legitimation of racism. Essential reading for everyone concerned with enhancing international higher education for the common good."
    - Rajani Naidoo (coeditor of The Globalization of Higher Education) (University World News)

    "US Power covers a lot of ground conceptually and empirically, and offers timely analysis of COVID-19’s impact on international higher education. For those new to the field, it provides a good introduction to the geopolitics of international higher education, and specifically, American power in this space. For more seasoned researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, the book synthesizes major themes and dynamics, and offers a solid foundation upon which to pursue new lines of inquiry and change."

    U.S. Power in International Higher Education explores how internationalization in higher education is not just an educational endeavor, but also a geopolitical one. By centering and making explicit the role of power, the book demonstrates the United States’s advantage in international education as well as the changing geopolitical realities that will shape the field in the future. The chapter authors are leading critical scholars of international higher education, with diverse scholarly ties and professional experiences within the country and abroad. Taken together, the chapters provide broad trends as well as in-depth accounts about how power is evident across a range of key international activities. This book is intended for higher education scholars and practitioners with the aim of raising greater awareness on the unequal power dynamics in internationalization activities and for the purposes of promoting more just practices in higher education globally.
