A Historical, Comparative, and Conceptual Analysis
Hardback
Publication Date: 28/02/2002
Hans de Wit gives a comprehensive analysis of internationalization of higher education with a comparative emphasis on particular European and American perspectives. Internationalization of higher education can be defined as the process of integrating an international/intercultural dimension into the teaching, research, and service functions of the institution. This comprehensive analysis describes and compares the historical development of the internationalization of higher education in the United States and Europe, as well as providing a comparative and conceptual analysis of the current situation in the field. The increasingly international focus of higher education is dialectically related to the present globalization and regionalization of our societies and markets. As a result, the importance of quality assessment of internationalization strategies has grown, international academic consortia and networks have emerged, and English has been firmly established as the language of communication in higher education.
