A Review of International Higher Education

Abstract

There is a fundamental discussion about the position of international higher education as a discipline. It is difficult to say that there is any answer which is universally agreed upon by researchers. International higher education is sometimes perceived as a field of education studies that covers the international dimension of higher education in general, but its position as a discipline remains to be established. This is something that has been consistently discussed among researchers in international education, and specifically international higher education, over the years. This chapter reviews how it has transformed over time by looking at previous research and outlining what debates have developed in international higher education as an academic field that has explored a contribution to international peace as its one of the missions.
