Abstract
In the concluding chapter, the author reviews a number of themes that have emerged in the book to analyze the internationalization of higher education within a post-foundational theoretical framework. These include the use of the concept of networks, including social network analyses; network, mobility, and identity capital; the significance of flows and connections; and the idea of “place.” The chapter reviews the ways in which more complex theorizations of the relations between place (or the local) and space (or the global) have been deployed in the book. Regionalization is addressed, and the author challenges the Eurocentrism of much of the internationalization research, by suggesting that regional initiatives outside of Europe be understood as forms of internationalization. The chapter ends by outlining some areas for further research.
