本文从1999年至2020年这七年间三波重叠的留学生流动的透镜来分析留学生流动的变化。在这里，一个浪潮是由时间段内影响国际学生流动的关键事件和趋势定义的。第一波是由2001年的恐怖袭击和国际学生在寻求建立卓越的研究机构入学形成的。第二波是由全球金融衰退引发的，这引发了招收国际学生的经济动机。中国经济放缓、英国脱欧公投和美国总统选举正在形成第三波。第三波的趋势表明，新的和传统的目的地之间的竞争日益激烈，以吸引国际学生。这三波浪潮的潜在驱动因素和特征表明，各院校在吸引和留住国际学生方面面临着越来越大的财政和竞争压力。展望未来，各院校必须创新，不仅要增加国际学生入学率，还要将其与相应的支持服务相平衡，以促进学生的成功，包括对职业和就业能力的期望。
This article analyses the changes in international student mobility from the lens of three overlapping waves spread over seven years between 1999 and 2020. Here a wave is defined by the key events and trends impacting international student mobility within temporal periods. Wave I was shaped by the terrorist attacks of 2001 and enrolment of international students at institutions seeking to build research excellence. Wave II was shaped by the global financial recession which triggered financial motivations for recruiting international students. Wave III is being shaped by the slowdown in the Chinese economy, UK's referendum to leave the European Union and American Presidential elections. The trends for Wave III show increasing competition among new and traditional destinations to attract international students. The underlying drivers and characteristics of the three waves suggest that institutions are under increasing financial and competitive pressure to attract and retain international students. Going forward, institutions must innovate not only to grow international student enrolment but also balance it with corresponding support services that advance student success including expectations of career and employability outcomes.
