Referring to four strategies of internationalization of higher education, suggested by the Organization for economic cooperation and development, Japan’s strategy is traditionally called mutual understanding approach, aiming mainly at the cultural diplomacy and spreading “soft power” around the globe. However, in modern Japan other strategies may become more important, such as skilled migration approach or capacity building approach. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the reasons for different strategies in internationalization of higher education in Japan. It is argued that both skilled migration approach and capacity building approach are implemented, while the revenue-generating approach is not.

Positive Effect

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.

To identify patterns of development of this process in dynamics, and their intensity. It is substantiated that from the macroeconomic point of view, foreign students are an important factor in influencing the country's balance of payments, the development of the national labor market, the national educational system, and innovative development. Students who have received higher education abroad become an important source of development for the countries of origin, on the terms of the return of such students to their motherland.

Monitoring internationalization through global surveys shows its increasing importance in higher education and the centrality of preparing students for a globalized world for many institutions. The pursuit of prestige, the focus on student mobility and the persistent popularity of Europe as a priority, are some of the trends that require vigilance to avoid risk of exclusion for less well-resourced institutions and regions.
