This book examines the rise of student mobility within Asia and its effects on the socio-political identities of a new generation of young people. The authors look at why students are choosing to study in key Asian cities, and how this trend resonates with the strategic intent of Asian universities to seek out promising ‘talent’ from within Asia. Drawing on sociological studies into the role of emotions in the making of cultural stratifications and solidarities, the book pursues the question of how the emotional experiences arising from studying and living in another country shapes a sense of shared fate and regional solidarity.weiterlesen
