Wednesday 14 August, 12:30-2pm ————– Internationalisation of the University as a Response to Globalisation: An East Asian Perspective Akiyoshi Yonezawa Ph.D., Associate Professor, Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University, Japan
In the 20th Century, we observed an expansion of higher education systems, first as tools for colonisation and then for de-colonisation. Global and regional collaboration in higher education has been strongly linked to the emergence of new nation-states, the rapid progress of internationalisation, and the emergence of regional dimensions of higher education under globalisation since the end of the 20th Century. At the same time, the development of a knowledge economy transformed the nature of higher education into a tradable service as well as a platform for skill formation, which made knowledge workers mobile across borders. In this chapter, the author analyses the past events, current trends, and future prospects of global and regional collaboration in higher education linked with the emergence of international dimensions.Bio Dr. Akiyoshi Yonezawa is an associate professor at the Graduate School of International Development (GSID), Nagoya University.
