Co-published with AIEAInternational higher education has evolved,
in some respects dramatically, in the decade since publication of
the first edition of this handbook. The new issues, trends,
practices and priorities of research that evolved over this time
have in some instances been transformed by one of the most dynamic
and tumultuous periods in the history of international higher
education, brought on by the pandemic, a re-emergence of
nationalism, and the recognition of the power imbalances between
the developed economies and the global south, and racial inequities
within and across borders. This new edition addresses the myriad
changes across all aspects of international education, each chapter
addressing to the extent possible the reality of the present in
which they were written and offering some insights for the future.
While updating a number of chapters from the first edition, it also
includes a preponderance of new chapters written by contributors
representing wider and more diverse backgrounds. In keeping with
the first edition, the overall message is that the
internationalization of higher education has a vital role to play
in a world that is more interconnected than ever before.
Recognizing changing economic, geopolitical, climatic, and public
health issues, as well as the importance of international and
cross-cultural collaboration to address global problems, this
handbook offers a comprehensive range of models, data and ideas to
stimulate new directions in the conception and practice of
international education. This edition reflects today's concerns
around inclusion, diversity and equity, and how international
education is being changed by issues such as decolonization, the
focus on learning outcomes, the impact of digital tools to enhance
access and learning and collaboration such a virtual exchange,
competition for resources, risk, new patterns of mobility, and new
models such as joint programs and qualifications. As with the first
edition, the chapters often intentionally pair scholars and
practitioners from different parts of the world, and include text
boxes that highlight concrete institutional, national, or regional
experiences, providing diverse voices and perspectives from around
the world. This comprehensive new edition provides ideas, concepts,
theories and practical ideas from around the world for those
seeking to enhance the quality of the three core functions of
higher education: teaching, research and service to society. It
constitutes an essential resource for everyone involved in the
delivery of international education and in determining its future
direction.
