70 Years of Internationalization in Tertiary Education: Changes, Challenges and Perspectives

Abstract

Internationalization as a concept and strategic agenda is a relatively new, broad, and varied phenomenon in tertiary education, driven by a dynamic combination of political, economic, sociocultural, and academic rationales and stakeholders. Its impact on regions, countries, and institutions varies according to their particular contexts. Mobility, also known as ``internationalization abroad,'' is the most referred to activity in internationalization and takes in itself a great variety of forms. Curriculum and global professional and citizenship development, also referred to as ``internationalization at home,'' is the other key component of internationalization. It receives increased attention, but still less than mobility.
