Globalization, Internationalization and Multinationalization

(15:30-17:30,October 27,Room318,Yin-Dong Building,Beijing Normal University)

Higher education everywhere is affected by global trends as never before. Definitions of the key terms of globalization, internationalization, and multinationalization as they relate to universities frame the debate. It is important to keep in mind that global academic relations contain an element of inequality, as the powerful academic systems at the center have impact on peripheral universities and systems. These general themes are analyzed by discussing specific elements such as the role of English as the main language of science and scholarship, the role of international flows of students and professors, the internationalization of the curriculum, information technology, and other aspects. Multinationalization includes an analysis of branch campuses, twinning programs and related cross-border developments.
