Abstract

This chapter explores how university leaders are reimagining internationalization strategies through a sustainability lens, urging a shift away from transactional, short-term global engagements toward more ethical, inclusive, and future-oriented models. Drawing on interviews, strategic documents, and emerging policy trends, the chapter unpacks the critical role of leadership in shaping institutional values and practices that align internationalization with long-term societal and environmental responsibilities. The chapter also confronts the tensions between competitiveness and cooperation, market logic and public good, inviting readers to reflect on the leadership mindsets and strategic commitments necessary to build a more just, interconnected, and sustainable higher education landscape. Through case examples and reflective analysis, it offers a roadmap for institutions seeking to lead not just globally, but responsibly.
