Education hubs are the newest development in the international
higher education landscape. Countries, zones and cities are trying
to position themselves as reputed centres for higher education and
research. But given higher education’s current
preoccupation with competitiveness, branding, and economicÂ
benefits are education hubs merely a fad, a branding exercise, or
are they an important innovation worthy of serious investment and
attention? This book tries to answer the question through a
systematic and comparative analysis of the rationales, actors,
policies, plans and accomplishments for six serious country level
education hubs - United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Malaysia, Hong Kong,
Singapore and Botswana . The in-depth case studies shows that "one
size does not fit all". A variety of factors drive countries to
prepare and position themselves as an education hub. They include
income generation, soft power, modernization of domestic tertiary
education sector, economic competitiveness, need for trained work
force, and most importantly a desire to move towards a knowledge or
service based economy. In response to these different motivations,
three different types of education hubs are being developed: the
student hub, talent hub, and knowledge/innovation hub. Scholars,
policy makers, professionals, students and senior decision makers
from education, economics, geography, public policy, trade,
migration will find that this book challenges some assumptions
about crossborder education and provides new insights and
information.Â

The international dimension of higher education is a theme that is
getting more priority on the agenda of institutions of higher
education, national governments, and regional and international
organizations. The globalization of our economies and societies has
an impact on our higher education sector, in the same way as higher
education through its research, teaching and services influences
this process of globalization. In Latin America,
internationalization is getting recognized as an important
phenomenon that is influencing the direction of its education and
society. Little though is known about the development of this
process, and what are the trends, issues and opportunities for the
internationalization of higher education in Latin American
countries and the region as a whole. This book looks at the Latin
American way in which the international dimension is evolving,
recognizing the specific cultural, linguistic, political and
economic characteristics of the region and each of its individual
countries and institutions of higher education. 'Higher Education
in Latin America: The International Dimension' provides a
comparative analysis of internationalization issues, trends and
opportunities in higher education in selected Latin American
countries at the institutional, national and regional level. These
countries include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico
and Peru. The book addresses the specific elements of the
internationalization process, such as mobility, curriculum,
linkages, networks, etc. but instead of looking at them in detail
they are presented as part of a more comprehensive overview of
policies, programs and activities at all three levels.
