"With his many years of overseas experiences as an international student, educator and scholar, Teofilo C Daquila has conducted his research on the internationalisation of higher education (IHE), as it has become an important policy issue and research topic for governments and universities around the world. He aims to determine the extent of internationalisation of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region particularly in Australia, Singapore and Japan in terms of its determinants and impacts using a multi- and inter-disciplinary framework of analysis, through historical, political, geographical, economic, social, and cultural dimensions. Daquila examines three leading universities in the world as case studies to determine their internationalisation experiences and the extent of their competitiveness. These are the University of Melbourne, the National University of Singapore, and Kyoto University. He uses four indicators of competitiveness: governance and structure, demand conditions, factor conditions, and internationalisation strategies (using the following indicators of IHE: expansion, broadening/diversification, deepening and facilitation). This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the internationalisation of higher education, its determinants and multiple perspectives, the competitiveness and internationalisation experiences and strategies of universities"--
Author Teofilo C. Daquila (National University of Singapore) investigates how governments and universities in the Asia-Pacific region have dealt with the internationalization of higher education (IHE), charting historical, political, economic, and cultural aspects of IHE. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study draws on interviews with government officials and university administrators, and presents in-depth cases of three universities: the University of Melbourne, Kyoto University, and the National University of Singapore. These case studies examine each university’s governance and structure, their internationalization strategies, and relevant demand and factor conditions. In addition to the case studies, the book offers a macro view of the IHE experiences of Australia, Japan, and Singapore, and surveys global trends of international student mobility and the rationale of IHE. The book also presents the author’s strategies for teaching about class diversity with local and international students. Color photos of students and conference attendees are included. The book’s audience includes policy makers, researchers, educators, and graduate students. Annotation ©2022 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
