Switzerland as a Site of Capital Accumulation: The Case of International Education

This special issue explores how and why foreign families and individuals, as well as local institutions, capitalize on the Swiss private schools’ market. Our introduction unpacks how the country and its educational landscape intersect with broader ties to global capitalism and asset movement. By further unravelling the interplay of social re/production, Bourdieusian capital accumulation, and transnational mobility for the globally elite, our introduction sets forth an important research agenda on Switzerland’s international education sector.
