摘要本文探讨了全球非国家和多边参与者在“全球南方”的增长和高等教育部门的前沿市场的创造。这些发展是高等教育市场变化的一部分，因为该部门向新的参与者，逻辑和创新服务开放，旨在“全球南方”。然而，建立一个高等教育市场，吸引来自全球南北方的新投资者、提供者和消费者，是一个复杂的过程，需要通过新的社会设备、规范和制度来想象和实现，以便高等教育部门像资本主义市场一样运作，以竞争、信贷、商品化和创造力为基础。本文通过三个切入点来考察这些过程：国际学生的招聘人员;以营利为目的的高等教育提供者;以及提供新形式信贷的金融机构。我们认为，这些发展都发挥，并加强，旧的和新的个人，社会团体和国家之间的权力不对称，内部和全球南北之间，创造一个更大的学习鸿沟。
Abstract This paper examines the growth of global non-state and multilateral actors in the ‘global south’ and the creation of frontier markets in the higher education sector. These developments are part of market-making changes in higher education as the sector is opened to new actors, logics, and innovative services, aimed at ‘the global south’. Yet making a higher education market that brings in new investors, providers, and consumers from within and across the global north and south is a complex process that requires imagining and materialising through new social devices, norms, and institutions so that the higher education sector works like a capitalist market based on competition, credit, commodification, and creativity. The paper examines these processes through three entry points: recruiters of international students; for-profit providers of HE; and financial agents providing new forms of credit. We argue that these developments both play off, and reinforce, older and newer asymmetries of power between individuals, social groups, and nations, within and between the global north and south, creating an even greater learning divide.
