Description

Integrating his previous publications with ongoing research, Wit (international affairs, U. of Amsterdam) examines the historical development of the internationalization of higher education and how it differs in the US and Europe; its various rationales, meaning, approaches, strategies, and organizational models; and ways to interpret some of its key manifestations at the turn of the 21st century. He distinguishes three phases of development as the international dimension, international education, and the internationalization of higher education.
