Political Economy of the "Virtual" Internationalisation of Higher Education to Foster Glocal Sustainable Development

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 1 - 9, 08.01.2023
https://doi.org/10.53850/joltida.1075392

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the higher education institution’s face-to-face education. Higher education institutions have overcome this challenge through enhanced virtual education which has provided further opportunities to the higher education institutions. One of these opportunities is the ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education which enables higher education institutions to reach more students globally.
Purposes: This paper aims to investigate the ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education’s role in glocal sustainable development and how to enhance its use to support glocal sustainability and sustainable development. This paper emphasises importance of political economy of the ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education to support glocal sustainable development and environmental policies.
Methodology/Approach: The aim of this paper is achieved based on an in-depth literature review.
Findings: This paper highlights effective, strategic and successful ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education’s role in competitiveness of higher education institutions. This paper highlights political economy of the ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education and provides recommendations and key success factors for the ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education to enhance glocal sustainable development and sustainability as well as environmental policies. This paper emphasises importance of considering the ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education in countries’ sustainable development plans, strategies and policies.
Discussion: Effective and strategic ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education can support higher education institutions’ competitive advantage globally. They can support higher education institutions’ success in getting intelligent students from all over the world. This can further contribute to their competitiveness. Furthermore, this can enable them to employ, in these ‘virtual’ internationalisation of higher education programmes, globally competitive and competent academic staff from all over the world. This paper can be useful to academics, policy-makers and researchers in the relevant field.
