Against the backdrop of demographic change and economic reconfiguration, recruiting international students, especially those at tertiary level, has drawn growing attention from advanced economies as part of a broad strategy to manage highly skilled migration. This comparative study focuses on three English speaking countries receiving international students: Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. International student policies, in particular entry and immigration regulations, and the trends in student mobility since the late 1990s are examined drawing on secondary data. By exploring the issue from the political economy perspectives, this study identifies distinct national strategies for managing student mobility, determines key factors shaping the environment of student migration in each nation, and addresses the deficiency of human capital theory in the analysis of global competition for high skills.
在人口结构变化和经济重新布局的背景下，招收国际学生，尤其是高等教育阶段的国际学生，作为管理高技能移民的广泛战略的一部分，已引起发达经济体越来越多的关注。这项比较研究聚焦于接收国际学生的三个英语国家：加拿大、美国和英国。利用二手数据研究国际学生政策，特别是入学和移民规定，以及20世纪90年代末以来的学生流动趋势。通过从政治经济学角度探讨这一问题，本研究确定了管理学生流动的不同国家战略，确定了塑造每个国家学生移民环境的关键因素，并指出了人力资本理论在分析全球高技能人才竞争方面的不足。
