Higher Education to 2030 VOLUME 2 GLOBALISATION Growing flows of knowledge, people and financing cross national borders and feed both worldwide collaboration and competition. These effects of globalisation increasingly impact higher education. How then might the future higher education scene look at the global level? What are the challenges and opportunities brought by globalisation? How can countries and institutions best cope with and benefit from future changes? Through both quantitative and qualitative analysis, this book provides a comprehensive and structured look at these essential questions. It explores the topic of cross-border higher education in terms of student, faculty and institutional mobility, providing a specific focus on academic research. Other issues addressed include higher education provision, financing, governance and quality assurance, with an emphasis on the use of market-like mechanisms. The book covers most OECD countries as well as many non-OECD countries and offers the reader specific reflections on China, India and European co-operation. Higher Education to 2030 (Vol. 2): Globalisation will be of interest to policy makers, managers of higher education institutions, academics, researchers, and students – as well as to all readers interested in social issues. This is the second volume in the Higher Education to 2030 series, which takes a forward-looking approach to analysing the impact of various contemporary trends on tertiary education systems. Volume 1 examines the effects of demography, while volume 3 explores the effects of technology. The fourth and final volume will present scenarios illustrating the main trends and driving forces for the future of higher education.

The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies. The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Commission of the European Communities takes part in the work of the OECD. OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation’s statistics gathering and research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its members.

FOREWORD HIGHER EDUCATION TO 2030 – VOLUME 2: GLOBALISATION © OECD 2009 3 Foreword Higher education and research play a key role in countries’ response to globalisation. At the same time, even if no global model of the higher education system is currently emerging, higher education is increasingly becoming globalised. Higher education is thus simultaneously a response to, and a scene for, global competition, collaboration, mobility and cross-cultural encounters. This book analyses recent trends in tertiary education systems that relate to globalisation and draws up several possible future scenarios for their evolution. It looks at three main sets of questions: cross-border higher education, that is, the mobility of students, faculty, programmes and institutions; the trends in the governance of tertiary education as a result of globalisation, notably as it relates to funding, quality assurance, and privatisation; and, finally, the perceived and actual forces fuelling competition and collaboration at the global level, including international rankings and the emergence of China and India as global players. Like its companion volumes in this series, on demography (volume 1) and technology (volume 3) respectively, this report will help higher education policy makers and stakeholders to better understand globalisation-related trends in higher education – and imagine several possible and plausible futures. Completed just before the recession, this book is a very timely opportunity to enlighten policy and decision making during the recovery. Business as usual cannot be the right answer. More than ever, it is essential to be forward-looking, innovative, and to question the continuation of some recent trends. Informing and framing this forward-looking discussion is precisely the mission of the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) project on the future of higher education, led by Senior Analyst Stéphan Vincent-Lancrin. This project has benefited from the support of all our member countries, but I would particularly like to thank Austria, France and Portugal, which have generously hosted expert and stakeholder meetings in relation to this strand of the project. Stéphan Vincent-Lancrin and Analyst Kiira Kärkkäinen are the editors of the book. Therese Walsh and Ashley Allen-Sinclair provided assistance and helped in preparing the manuscript. I would further like to thank all the book’s authors who have provided original and complementary insights into this complex subject as well as Dirk van Damme, head of CERI, for his strong support to the project and Tom Schuller, former head of CERI, from whose valuable advice the project on the future of higher education has benefited.
