| Summary: | This book compares internationalization
issues, trends, and opportunities in higher education in
selected Latin American countries at the institutional,
national, and regional levels. It addresses the specific
elements of the internationalization process, such as
mobility, curriculum, linkages, and networks. Rather than
investigating these issues in detail, however, it examines
them as part of a more comprehensive overview of policies,
programs, and activities at all three levels. The volume
examines these elements and the broader process of
internationalization in the context of the overall
development of higher education. It analyzes the potential
contribution of internationalization to institution and
nation building, examining such issues as the implications
of trade, new forms of delivery, new providers, and the
relevance of accreditation and quality assurance for higher
education and their international dimensions. |
