The Local and the Global in Higher Education Internationalization

A Crucial Nexus

  • Chapter
Global and Local Internationalization

Part of the book series: Transgressions: Cultural Studies and Education ((GPHE))

Abstract

Analysis of higher education internationalization has typically gone in two directions. Those concerned with the practical aspects of internationalization—such as student mobility programs, campus internationalization efforts, and similar initiatives—have been focused on the “local” aspects of the theme. Policy-makers and others more concerned with strategy for universities or governments, or with broadly understanding internationalization as a trend, have engaged in “global” analyses. Here, the focus has been on broader strategic, structural, socio-economic, and political issues. The dialog between these strands in the discussion has been quite limited.
