- Abstract
The article explores national and institutional policies and strategies for recruiting international students in Portugal through the analysis of political documents and semi-structured interviews with representatives of two universities. The results point to an intense national political activity, visible not only in legislative changes, but also in the nationwide coordination and mobilisation of an articulated set of organisations to increase Portugal's attractiveness. From an institutional point of view, the analysed universities are now proactive in recruiting international students, although they do not yet do so in a systematic and articulated way. Capitalising on the advantage offered by the Portuguese language, universities seem to be exploring a niche market of Lusophone students and others who are interested in learning Portuguese, especially from China.
