Abstract

Higher education may operate within nation spaces and serve national ends, but it is increasingly a transnational enterprise, generating movements of people and money and ideas within and among nations. This chapter takes a critical look at the international student trade as it has developed in Australia, its relations with Indian students and its responses to internationally influenced national policies of deregulation and privatization. It draws a parallel between transnational movements of students and the indentured labour trade in spaces across the British Empire.
