Global higher education might turn upside down as West turns inward

UK and US agreed: even current uncertainty is hurtful, and the prospects are bleak indeed. But Poland and Hungary seem to me less relevant to this story. Both were never outward looking for researchers, with or without authoritarian governments, nor super attractive to foreign students that had a real choice - except maybe Erasmus. I like to think that if Germany follows Austria and keep its right wing at bay, there might be one more black horse among players you so nicely review. Thank you for this piece.

A bit too focused on equating mobility w internationalization perhaps. If indeed much of intl Ed has become big business, maybe it's time to focus on curriculum and campus-based strategies for intl Ed. Bring the faculty back to a central role? And use technology to connect our networks for teaching and research.
