Internationalization Strategies and Academic Mobility in Europe: Sciences Po and the London School of Economics

  • Chapter
Mobility and Migration in Asian Pacific Higher Education

Part of the book series: International and Development Education ((INTDE))

Abstract

Sciences Po (Rain 1963; Osborne 1983; Descoings 2007) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) (Dahrendorf 1995; Scot 2011a) are remarkably internationalized European higher education establishments: in 2010, the proportion of international students making up their respective student bodies totaled 40 and 70 percent, with nonnationals accounting for 12.5 percent and 45 percent of their respective faculty. They describe themselves as world-class universities, veritable top training grounds for global elites. They are therefore genuine laboratories of academic internationalization strategies in Europe, as well as outstanding observatories of academic mobility and the institutional and intellectual transformations that result from the internationalization of European higher education (Huisman and Van der Wende 2004, 2005; Corbett 2005; Musselin and Mignot 2005; Ravinet 2007; Mangset 2009).
