Globalisation and Internationalisation: Policy Agendas Compared

  • Chapter
Higher Education in a Globalising World

Part of the book series: Higher Education Dynamics ((HEDY,volume 1))

Abstract

In recent decades, the international dimension has gained importance in higher education policy. First of all, higher education trends have been increasingly analysed at the international level, with an important role played by international and intergovernmental organisations such as the OECD and UNESCO. On the academic side, these analyses have been supported by international comparative higher education research, carried out by research centres such as the Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) in the Netherlands. Second, it has been acknowledged that government policies need to address the internationalisation of higher education directly, and should aim to move beyond existing schemes for academic mobility towards policies which encourage higher education institutions to internationalise their core functions. And third, the awareness has grown that policy initiatives are also needed at an international level.
