A Precarious Balancing Act: Globalization, Political Legitimacy, and Higher Education Expansion in Qatar and the UAE

Escrito por Seungah S. Lee en el Contemporary Arab Affairs (2021) 14 (1): 113–133: This paper explores the dynamics between globalization and local culture in analyzing how higher education (HE) has expanded in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through internationalization. It contends that HE expands through internationalization in part because these Arab Gulf states use higher education institutions (HEIs) to legitimate themselves and gain prominence as internationally competitive societies in a globalized world. At the same time, however, these Arab Gulf states face push back from their more conservative, traditional constituents who criticize the state for “Westernizing” education. Hence, these states simultaneously pursue anti-liberal practices in public HEIs to manage state–society relations, enabling them to maintain both national and global legitimacy. This effort to balance what appears to be two competing interests creates a “dual higher education system”. https://doi.

The purpose of this research is to analyse the management indicators that higher education institutions in the region have implemented to identify those that have more impact in obtaining an institutional accreditation. A quantitative survey of 114 institutional leaders from 97 universities in 11 countries identified the management indicators. Findings in this research may serve as guidelines for leaders and practitioners to decide which indicators to implement and help institutions in the region to succeed in national and international instit

UNIVERSITIES’ STRATEGIES FOR INTERNATIONALISATION: CONTEXTUAL DETERMINANTS

Tamara DAGEN en la TEORIJA IN PRAKSA let. 57, Special issue/2020 resume:  Over the last few decades, the Erasmus programme has served as an impetus for internationalisation in higher education on the institutional and national levels. The aim of the article is to present the results of qualitative comparative analysis of three cases in order to explore three different universities’ strategies for internationalisation (Vienna, Granada, Lausanne) in three different national contexts (Austria, Spain, Switzerland), and their various approaches to the Erasmus programme, and mobility in particular. Although sharing common goals, instruments and activities created at the EU level, different approaches to internationalisation, the Erasmus programme and the mobility concept are evidenced, which have consequently brought various effects and outcomes.  https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tamara-Dagen/publication/349380132_UNIVERSITIES'_STRATEGIES_FOR_INTERNATIONALISATION_CONTEXTUAL_DETERMINA

By Rosine Zgheib & Amira Van Loan, la Contemporary Arab Affairs (2021) 14 (1): 91–112 incluye este trabajo sobre: "As global marketplace competition increases, higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Arab world purposefully integrate international and intercultural dimensions into their curriculum, known as internationalization at home (IaH), to empower graduates with the tools necessary to strengthen their economies and be productive global citizens. The purpose of this research is to report changes in the internationalization strategies of fourteen randomly selected Arab world HEIs by looking at six IaH indicators in their mission statements, course descriptions, and strategic plans. The results prioritize internationalization in the HEIs’ mission statements with a twenty per cent increase in the number of indicators between academic years 2014–15 and 2019–20. Additionally, through course descriptions/titles, we found some universities were offering up to 350 courses pro
