The Sage Handbook of International Higher Education

Deardorff (education, Duke U.) et al. bring together an international group of education and other scholars for 25 chapters on global perspectives and new strategies related to the creation, development, and enhancement of the increasing internationalization in higher education. They provide a conceptual and historical context, including recent developments in the US and the Bologna Process in Europe and its global implications, and discuss different thematic approaches to internationalization (leadership, institutional strategies, outcomes assessment, risk management, international student security, and employee perspectives); internationalization of the curriculum, teaching, and learning processes, as well as developing intercultural and global competences and examining the intersections between the local and global; the abroad dimension and the mobility of students, scholars, institutions, programs, and projects; and regional trends in international education and future directions. Boxes throughout the text highlight institutional, national, and regional experiences to link theory to practice. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
