NEW BOOK
Al-Youssef, J. (2010) The Internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions: Meanings, Policy and Practice. VDM.
The internationalisation of higher education institutions (HEIs) has been a major focus of attention in the UK. This is reflected at a top government level by the Prime Minister’s Initiatives PMI1 and PMI2. This attention to internationalisation is largely influenced by market discourse and global economic forces. In addition, the complex interaction indicated in the literature between internationalisation and globalisation is thought to result in a conflict between the economic and the educational rationales for universities. On a broader scale, this leads to confusion about what internationalisation means. This book elucidates the complex meanings of internationalisation and challenges previous methods of exploring those meanings through a qualitative study at a UK University as it is in the process of developing its international strategy. The research takes the concept of internationalisation away from the practices of the institution and into the accounts of the individuals who manage it. This book also sheds light on less explored issues around internationalisation, and should be especially useful to managers and researchers interested in the internationalisation of HEIs.
The book is available from Amazon and Amazon UK

NEW BOOK
A new book by Lisa Childress has been released entitled “The Twenty-first Century University: Developing Faculty Engagement in Internationalization.” This book presents strategies that can be used by faculty and administrators to increase faculty engagement in international teaching, research, and service. The book is available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Twenty-first-Century-University-Internationalization-Conversation/dp/1433106590/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266722716&sr=8-1
Here is what leaders in the field have to say about the book:
“Academic leaders, policy makers, faculty and scholars will benefit from the insightful analysis and pragmatic approach to enhancing faculty engagement in the internationalization process. This important and welcomed book helps to fill a major gap in research and practice and demonstrates that faculty are the true ‘engine of internationalization’ when their involvement is supported and recognized.” –*Jane Knight, University of Toronto*
“Grounded in theory and full of practical advice, *The Twenty-first Century University: Faculty Engagement in Internationalization* represents an important addition to the literature on internationalization. It provides enormously useful guidance for chief academic officers, deans, and campus internationalization leaders as they work to engage the faculty in the important work of internationalization.” –* Madeleine F. Green, Vice President for International Initiatives, American Council on Education*
“This study on faculty engagement in internationalization provides insight into a crucial aspect of internationalization policies in higher education that has received too little attention before: how to stimulate faculty interest and involvement in internationalization strategies and activities in institutions of higher education. Her analysis, cases studies and recommendations will be of relevance for colleges and universities in strengthening their internationalization objectives. ” –*Hans de Wit, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences; Editor, *Journal of Studies in International Education
