The Ripple Effect: Understanding the Societal Implications of International Student Mobility
International student mobility and poverty reduction: A qualitative study of the mechanisms of systemic change
International study and democratic consciousness: From formation to engagement
How do international student returnees contribute to the development of their home countries? A systematic mapping and thematic synthesis
This study investigates the significant yet under-examined role of international student returnees in catalysing societal development in their home countries. Through systematic mapping and thematic synthesis of 53 articles selected from an initial pool of 1515, this review delineates the literature’s portrayal of returnees’ impacts across various domains, including firm growth, industrial innovation, higher education, research, social diversity,…
International student mobility and poverty reduction: A cross-national analysis of low- and middle-income countries
Foreign-educated graduates reduce extreme poverty long-term in low- and middle-income countries. • System GMM analysis from 1999 to 2018 highlights education's impact. • Transnationalism used to conceptualise impact of foreign-educated graduates. • International education's potential for sustainable development emphasized. While educational expansion is often acknowledged as a driving force in poverty reduction, there has been limited scholarly e…
Threats for workers or opportunities for consumers? The impact of the Great Recession on perceived trade threat in 21 countries
Two competing perspectives have been offered to explain how the Great Recession (GR) impacted citizens’ perspectives on international trade. The citizens-as-workers perspective maintains that anti-trade attitudes increase during economic downturns because higher imports of foreign products pose a severe threat to workers’ job security, whereas the citizens-as-consumers perspective suggests that favorable attitudes toward international trade incre…
Ex-post harmonization of cross-national survey data: Advances in methodological and substantive inquiries
Measuring and Analyzing Protest Potential From a Survey Data Recycling Framework
As active involvement in protest has been legitimized as an acceptable form of political activity, citizens' protest potential has become an important measure to understand contemporary democratic politics. However, the arbitrary use of a forced-choice question, which prevents those who have previously participated in protests from expressing willingness to engage in future protest, and the limited coverage of international surveys across countri…
How to Capture Global Protest Trends: Using Survey Data Recycling Data to Construct Cross-National Trends in Protest
A common claim about the affluent democracies is that protest is trending, becoming more legitimate and widely used by all political contenders. In the new democracies, protest is seen as having contributed to democratization, but growing apathy has led to protest decline while in authoritarian regimes protest may be spurring more democratization. Assessing these ideas requires comparative trend data covering 15 or more years but constructing suc…
Youth, Institutional Trust, and Democratic Backsliding
In recent decades, many countries ranging from quasidemocratic regimes to well-established democracies have faced democratic backsliding. In this study, we draw on Foa and Mounk and other related literature to examine the effects of regime delegitimation on democratic backsliding, focusing on youth's trust in political institutions-parliament, legal systems, and political parties-relative to trust of the older population. We use an unbalanced pan…
The Impact of the Great Recession on Perceived Immigrant Threat: A Cross-National Study of 22 Countries
In an increasingly globalized world, anti-immigrant sentiment has become more prevalent. Competitive threat theory suggests that anti-immigrant attitudes increase when adverse economic circumstances intensify competition with immigrants for scarce resources, but past studies using this approach are inconclusive. In this study, we investigate the impact of the Great Recession on perceived immigrant threat—an index of seven items measuring attitude…
