"This book offers an important contribution to the field of Comparative Education. Its value withstands the broad (but also in depth) detailing of possible theoretical frameworks that might be useful in analysing internationalisation, of and in, elite education. ... I think that this book would be found as a valuable resource both for the newcomers to the field but also to scholars interested in globalisation in and of education and comparative education scholars interested in mobility and education in general."
