This article was perfect for justifying a field study. It outlines different "arrangements" for international higher education to create a typology of all the many types of international cooperation. Because of the "increased opportunities for interaction through new technologies", there is a greater demand for inter-university interactions. This article also gave me some new terms for academic collaboration so I can have a bit of variety when writing: consortia, networks, alliances, joint venture, expanding organizational boundaries, and associations.
Individuals provide the basis for cooperation in higher education. The "informal links between academics...are probably the oldest--and still most important--form of international cooperation and are apparent in all fields and disciplines."
"Relevance and quality is [sic] is no longer exclusively determined and judged by peers." Instead, they "require the involvement of representatives from other sectors." Also, international experience is important "due to a growing level of global interconnectedness of economies and other sectors."
"The globalisation of business and markets, the increasing impact and number of international treaties and regulations, the awareness of the global nature of ecological problems, increased international migration are all events that have to be covered and analysed in business studies, economics, law, environmental studies, sociology, anthropology, etc. and, therefore, demanding more international interaction."
