Contesting Globalization and Internationalization of Higher Education

This edited volume brings together exciting new research and ideas related to the ongoing internationalization of higher education, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, where this phenomenon has been rapidly developing in recent years. It also specifically focuses on analyzing the extent to which resurgent nationalisms from around the world effect the growth and direction of this sector of education. As cultural and political tensions rise globally, many are turning to educators and education researchers for suggestions on how to respond to this trend. This volume seeks to answer that call. Moreover, as authors share perspectives and data from a wide range of national and institutional contexts, the applicability of this volume extends beyond national or regional boundaries, offering questions, challenges, and lessons for educators worldwide.

Presents some of the latest research on the internationalization of education--a phenomenon of great interest to many researchers, administrators, and policymakers--in the Asia Pacific region Discusses the resurgence of nationalism globally in an educational context Offers a range of perspectives, from various national and institutional contexts, using an array of research approaches
