The Impact of Globalization on Higher Education
Summary
This article interprets the quantitative and qualitative impact of globalization on the international activities of universities. On the one hand, the "European dimension" is strengthened by the decreasing role of national states in higher education policy. On the other, universities become more and more autonomous and start to compete with each other not only for reasons of academic reputation but for reasons of recruiting students and research fands. For this competition cannot be restricted to national borders in the future universities have to prove good in an international environment. Furthermore, the rise of an European "higher education area" is sketched.
