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.
The combination of historical, comparative, and conceptual
analysis of internationalization of higher education provides a
framework for further research and practice of this important trend
in higher education. First, de Wit describes and compares the
historical development of internationalization in higher education
in both the United States and Europe. In part two, the political,
economic, social/cultural and academic rationales for the
internationalization of higher education are described and a
critical analysis of the different meanings and definitions, as
well as organization models and strategies are provided. In the
last section, internationalization of higher education is placed in
the context of recent globalization.
