The increasing permeability of national boundaries in faculty research and teaching and the increasing mobility of students and faculty across borders are crucial aspects of the internationalisation of higher education. Relying on the results of the Changing Academic Profession International Survey which provides information on some 25,000 academics working in 19 countries located in 5 continents, the book addresses the following topics:changes in the internationalization of the academy over the period 1992-2007, the international mobility of faculty, the international dimension of faculty’s research activities, the process of regionalisation in higher education, gender and faculty internationalization, the internationalization and the new academic generation, and the identification and analysis of faculty “internationalists” as a cross-national subgroup.

Abstract
The increasing permeability of national boundaries in faculty research and teaching and the increasing mobility of students and faculty across borders are crucial aspects of the internationalisation of higher education. Relying on the results of the Changing Academic Profession International Survey which provides information on some 25,000 academics working in 19 countries located in 5 continents, the book addresses the following topics:changes in the internationalization of the academy over the period 1992-2007, the international mobility of faculty, the international dimension of faculty’s research activities, the process of regionalisation in higher education, gender and faculty internationalization, the internationalization and the new academic generation, and the identification and analysis of faculty “internationalists” as a cross-national subgroup.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
