International Education as we have known it has evolved from a fragmented approach on study abroad and international students into a strategic and comprehensive internationalization concept that affects all aspects of higher education. The SAGE Handbook of International Higher Education serves as a guide to internationalization of higher education and offers new strategies for its further development and expansion in the years to come. With a decidedly global approach, this groundbreaking volume brings together leading experts from around the world to illustrate the increasing importance of internationalization. It also encompasses the diversity and breadth of internationalization of higher education in all its thematic facets and regional impacts.

The handbook comprises five sections, covering key areas: internationalization of higher education in a conceptual and historic context; different thematic approaches to internationalization; internationalization of the curriculum, teaching and learning process, and intercultural competencies; the abroad dimension of internationalization and the mobility of students, scholars, institutions, and projects; and a concluding section on regional trends in international education and direction for the future of internationalization in the 21st century.

“This is one of the most comprehensive publications on Higher Education Internationalization. It will not only inform but will also educate Higher Education practitioners globally at all levels.”

Nico Jooste

“The editors are to be congratulated for putting together such an impressive collection of chapters that help define the field …If there were a “Who’s Who in International Education,” the editors and contributors would be prominently featured in it because they are serious scholars with distinguished professional records. This handbook goes a long way to explain and interpret this growing field not only to (those outside the field), but perhaps – unexpectedly - to international education professionals themselves….It is especially good to see the handbook reflecting a variety of cultural and national perspectives by including prominent educators and scholars from a variety of countries. (This handbook is an)… extraordinary venture that will raise the bar of competencies and knowledge of the field.”
