THEME: (INTER)NATIONAL POLICIES AND POLITICS
National-level policies and programmes, typically guided by developments in national politics, can have far-reaching consequences for institutions’ internationalisation efforts. The internationalisation of higher education is thus inevitably influenced by national policymaking trends and political developments, particularly in such key areas as immigration regulations, promotion (or funding) of inbound and/or outbound student mobility programmes, and supportive legal frameworks for multilateral agreements.
This issue of Forum explores some of the ways that national-level policies and politics affect internationalisation in practice, and how the field of international higher education engages with political and policymaking processes to advance internationalisation objectives and agendas.
