Internationalization of Higher Education: An Institutional Perspective. Papers on Higher Education.

The papers in this collection focus on ways higher education institutions might better promote strategies for the internationalization of teaching, learning, research, and other services. The papers explore the rationale of internationalization, the main barriers to internationalization, the distinction between globalization and internationalization, and the growth of transnational education. The papers are: (1) "Changing Rationales for the Internationalization of Higher Education" (Hans de Wit); (2) "Missing in Action: Leadership for International and Global Education for the Twenty-First Century" (Josef A. Mestenhauser); (3) "'The Show Is Not the Show/But They That Go': The Janus-Face of the Internationalized University at the Turn of the Century" (Dorothea Steiner); and (4)"Transnational Education and Recognition of Qualifications" (Lesley A. Wilson and Lazar Vlasceanu). The first two papers contain references. (SLD)
