Description
Today, globalization highlights the importance of cultural diversity within countries, communities, and institutions while providing a better understanding of individuals and groups. By encouraging a focus on international perspectives in learning, teaching, and recruitment, educational institutions are able to adapt to a globalized society.
Policies and Initiatives for the Internationalization of Higher Education in Developing Nations provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of implementing the processes of internationalization, as well as its political, economic, historic, and organizational barriers. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as systems theory, student mobility, and risk management, this publication is ideally designed for education researchers, academicians, policymakers, graduate-level students, and administrators seeking current research on the policies and initiatives practiced by institutions and individuals in order to compete with the influences of globalization.
