Abstract
How is it that many international students and scholars consider English destinations like the USA as their last leg of journey? How is it that they do not find life’s fullness and richness in social Europe hailed as paragon of social justice, strong defender of human rights, home of the happiest, richest, exceptional and strongest in the world? How have the English-speaking countries represented by the United States alone come to enjoy this primacy over the production of international education space? The study is inspired by new turn in space and place in globalization thinking
