A universidade tem sido uma das instituições centrais no desenvolvimento das sociedades modernas, com os últimos 30 anos vendo o surgimento de dinâmicas de internacionalização da educação superior como um imperativo para o seu progresso. Exploramos a relação deste processo com o tema da integração regional, tomando como exemplo o MERCOSUL enquanto espaço geográfico e de decisão. Para tanto, focamos nos dados que contam a história da relação entre as universidades brasileiras e argentinas desde um ponto de vista dos processos de internacionalização, em que atentamos para a existência de dinâmicas de mobilidade informais que passam despercebidas pelas estratégias de políticas de cooperação acadêmica. Discutimos como essas experiências de estudantes brasileiros na Argentina podem auxiliar na construção de uma agenda educacional no MERCOSUL que leve em conta dois pontos principais: a fatura de um sistema de acreditação comum para cursos e o incremento de programas de mobilidade científica na região.Palavras-Chave: Internacionalização da Educação Superior; Integração Regional; MERCOSUL.ABSTRACTThe university has been one of the central institutions in the development of modern societies, with the last 30 years seeing the emergence of internationalization of higher education as an imperative for its progress. We explore the relation of such a process with the theme of regional cooperation, taking MERCOSUL as an example of a geographical space of decision-making. We focus on the data regarding the history between the Brazilian and Argentine universities from the point of view of its process of internationalization, where we pay attention to the existence of informal dynamics that do not get into consideration in the politics of regional cooperation. We discuss how the experience of Brazilian students in Argentine can support the construction of an education agenda in MERCOSUL that takes into account two key aspects: the architecture of a common system of accreditation and the manufacturing of programs of scientific mobility in the region.Keywords: Internationalization of Higher Education; Regional Cooperation; MERCOSUR. Recebido em: 04/02/2021 | Aceito em: 07/05/2021.

Modern higher education takes an important role in facilitating mobility, including youth, innovation, economic growth, capitalization of human potential. Given the instability and severe challenges of today, there is an increasing need to strengthen partnerships between higher education institutions at both the national and international levels, conducting a common educational policy, forecasting and planning activities for sustainable development and strengthening competitive positions in the market of educational services. This highlights show the need for theoretical and methodological rethinking of the features of new forms and approaches to ensure the effectiveness of internationalization of higher education in Ukraine and cooperation of partner institutions, which should become effective mechanisms for achieving goals and solving complex problems, including access to education, quality and efficiency, capitalization of human potential. In addition, with the beginning of quarantine measures, significant changes are taking place in the direction of internationalization of higher education. It has been proven that internationalization and cooperation in higher education, international learning, including joint online learning, internships, student mobility as tools of interaction has significant potential for involving a significant number of people in intercultural learning on a global scale. The need for effective internationalization is associated with significant opportunities for universities with limited resources to implement their intentions. Finding a compromise will promote transnational cooperation partnerships both inside the country and internationally, and the main features of internationalization should be sustainability, interdisciplinarity, creativity, openness. Achieving these components will have a positive effect not only for the higher education sector, but also for society as a whole.

The internationalization of higher education is one of the most current topics related to education today. The number of foreign students in major higher education institutions is increasing, and international collaborations in the field of education and research are becoming more frequent. Even though the topic is so tangible in proximity, still little is known about the process of internationalization of higher education and the factors that support and hinder the phenomenon. The theoretical significance of this study is the regression analysis of the revealed literature and statistical data, while the practical significance is the possible comparative study of the research carried out in the international context depending on the number of FAO scholarship students coming to Hungary from African countries. The study covers 12 years of mobilities from 2008 to 2020. The study presents the distribution of FAO scholarship students arriving in Hungary from African countries and analyses a correlation between macroeconomic indicators, student mobility and the likelihood of international migration regarding sending African countries, using linear regression analysis and SPSS as a statistical method. For this analysis the data from the ILOSTAT Database has been used. The result of the study is that there are correlations between indicators in only a few cases, such as the HDI and MPI index of the African countries and GDP per capita. The GDP per capita has really strong positive correlation with the HDI index. There is a medium correlation between agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (% of GDP) and the employment in agriculture in the examined African countries. Also, our results suggest there is a moderately strong negative correlation between MPI index and GDP per capita.

Internationalization continues to be a priority within many Canadian universities. While it is imperative to attend to the ethical dilemmas that accompany the intensification of internationalization, different ethical frameworks operate according to different orientating assumptions. In this paper, we seek to pluralize and deepen conversations about the ethics of internationalization by illustrating how three global ethics approaches address questions of international student mobility, study and service abroad, and internationalizing the curriculum. We conclude by emphasizing the need for both scholars and practitioners to engage in multi-voiced, critically-informed analyses, and dissensual conversations about complex ethical dilemmas related to internationalization.

The launch of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Community in December 2015 is expected to accelerate structural transformation in Southeast Asia. It is also an initiative that shifts the landscape of higher education in Southeast Asia, which needs to meet the challenges posed by the process of regionalization of higher education. Based on the review of theoretical and conceptual works on regionalization in higher education, a broader scope of regional cooperation in higher education in Southeast Asia is suggested. Such broader scope is enable to survey the main actors (stakeholders) engaged in regional cooperation in higher education in Southeast Asia at multiple levels of cooperation: universities/higher education institutions (HEIs); government/intergovernmental cooperation; and intra-/interregional cooperation. Furthermore, two priority areas for harmonization in higher education, namely, quality assurance (QA) and credit transfer, are highlighted as particular forms of regional cooperation. Both internal and external QA systems are explained. In particular, the Academic Credit Transfer Framework for Asia (ACTFA) is introduced, which would serve as a main framework for credit transfer for Southeast Asia, by embracing credit transfer system/scheme which exist in Southeast Asia. In lieu of conclusion, main actors (stakeholders) including their mechanisms to engage in regional cooperation in higher education are summarized according to functions such as capacity building, credit transfer, grading, student mobility, mutual recognition, qualification framework, and quality assurance. Future directions in regional cooperation are suggested to pave the way towards the creation of a “common space” in higher education in Southeast Asia, or eventually the Southeast Asian Higher Education Area (SEAHEA), by developing and adapting common rules, standards, guidelines, and frameworks to be applicable to Southeast Asia.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to explore - from a decolonial point of view - concepts, policies and actions of internationalization of Higher Education at the University of Georgia based on a qualitative approach with individual semi-structured interviews, observations and documental analysis addressing two research questions about: the conceptions of internationalization of Higher Education; and how internationalization policies and actions are perceived within University of Georgia. From the analysis, three substantive categories have been identified: Subject, Place and Research. Those express concepts supporting policies and actions of internationalization. Subjects can be seen as the starting point and driving force of processes of internationalization. Places are spaces inherently filled with both contradictions and possibilities, bringing together participants who count on support and means to build bridges for understanding, by acting out interdisciplinary joint efforts of research to address complex issues affecting mankind as a whole.
