Sažetak
The book analyses the impact of globalisation on internationalisation of universities. Peculiar aspects of this book are as follows: 1) it looks at a combination of direct and indirect impacts of globalisation on universities’ internationalisation strategies (though various policy levels) ; 2) it pays particular attention to the role of the EU as a unique regional political system producing not only policies within the EU, but also impacting HE policies globally, beyond EU borders ; and 3) it takes into account the impact of long-term national traditions on global positioning of a particular country in which a university is located. The research primarily focuses on universities’ responses to the complex web of policies impacting the grass-roots (university) level. More precisely, university internationalisation strategies were observed and recorded from a bottom-up perspective – perspective from the university level. This includes both external pressures and policies as well as internal (university) policies/strategies aimed at ensuring the survival and success of a university in such a complex environment. After presentation of the theoretical-methodological framework, in line with the research model, particular parts of research and accompanying findings are presented in separate chapters. There is an overview of the supranational (EU) level HE policy followed by a comparative analysis of national level policies in the three studied countries (Austria, Switzerland, Spain), and a comparative analysis of the three universities (University of Vienna, University of Lausanne, University of Granada) and their internationalisation strategies. A separate chapter is devoted to a systematic direct comparison of the three universities’ internationalisation policies/strategies. The overall research model includes the analysis of following impacts: 1) globalisation pressures, including the impact of the recent international financial and economic crisis ; 2) international factors ; 3) national factors, and 4) university level factors. In the concluding chapter authors comment on the findings, their contribution to studying impacts of globalisation on universities, and recommend the venues for further research.
