Abstract
While there is little agreement about the definitions, theories and practices of internationalisation, they have one thing in common. They tend to originate from Europe and North America and primarily serve the interests of Anglo-American academia (Ivancheva and Syndicus 2019; Marginson 2016; Rhoades et al. 2019). These two articles take a different perspective. They look at internationalisation from two kinds of peripheries and consider the strategies that peripheralised countries and people are using to try and create a more balanced or equal relationship between local or national interests and those of universities in Europe and North America. The first article considers internationalisation from peripheral countries in sub-Saharan Africa, China and Indonesia and explores the strategies of regional cooperation, ‘balanced internationalisation’ and marketisation (respectively) that they are adopting to resist marginalisation and dependency. The second article is written from the perspective of international students who are peripheralised within their host university and country in Europe. It explores the dilemmas students encounter when trying to negotiate language politics and the use of social media in order to participate more fully in the university and society.
尽管人们对国际化的定义、理论和实践几乎没有共识,但它们有一个共同点。它们往往来自欧洲和北美,主要服务于英美学术界的利益(Ivancheva and Syndicus 2019;Marginson 2016;Rhoades et al. 2019)。这两篇文章采用了不同的视角。他们从两种边缘角度看待国际化,并考虑边缘国家和人们正在使用的策略,以尝试在地方或国家利益与欧洲和北美大学的利益之间建立更平衡或平等的关系。第一篇文章考虑了撒哈拉以南非洲周边国家、中国和印度尼西亚的国际化,并探讨了区域合作、“平衡国际化”和市场化(分别)的战略,它们正在采取这些战略来抵制边缘化和依赖性。第二篇文章是从国际学生的角度写的,他们在欧洲的东道主大学和国家被边缘化了。它探讨了学生在试图协商语言政治和使用社交媒体时遇到的困境,以便更充分地参与到大学和社会中。
