Internationalization of Local Universities: Pathways to the Development of a Sustainable Regional/Local Society in East Asia

Introduction

The initial focus of the higher education internationalization policy in East Asian countries was developing a limited number of world-class universities as they strive to compete in the global knowledge economy; however, the emerging discussion on the internationalization of local universities has evolved as the local regions and communities face an imminent risk of disappearance due to aging and declining population. Local universities are now expected to be catalysts for regional development and cultural diplomacy. By leveraging their international networks and resources, universities are expected to enhance the global connectivity of local communities and industries and promote multicultural coexistence in their communities. 

The present Special Issue (SI) of the International Journal of Comparative Education and Development calls for manuscript submissions with the main theme of Internationalization of Local Universities: Pathways to the Development of a Sustainable Regional/Local Society in East Asia.
