The Feasibility to Internationalize Taiwan¡¦s Higher Education System from the Perspective of Globalization

Hsu, Yuan-hsiang 12 February 2007 (has links)
Under the context of globalization, the development of higher education is similar to that of international business in that the leading trends are economic development, expansion of business, and market orientation. These trends will result in countries with strong competitive advantages, and at the other hand, will also result in countries who must deal with facing these strong and dominant powers. Higher education systems under global competitiveness mostly follow the model and features that have been set according to the advantages of these Western developed countries. In addition to English being the predominant language, other indicators such as scientific research output, qualitative and quantitative academic indicators, or even the numbers of Nobel laureates produced, are all favorable to the international level of Western countries. Taiwan¡¦s higher education system has been endeavoring to ¡§internationalize¡¨ its university and college campuses, and has been doing so as an important indicator of the standard of the institution. Yet are Taiwan¡¦s higher education internationalization methodologies directly following the Western models, and if so, what are some limitations and conflicts that might arise. This paper aims to discuss whether these efforts by Taiwan¡¦s higher education institutions will be feasible in trying to produce a so-called internationalized campus and compatible competitiveness.
