The difficulty of defining the term "internationalization" is the final subject tackled in this chapter (Knight 1999). An adequate job of explaining its meaning in the context of higher education practice and policy is made implicit throughout the chapter, so it is unclear why Knight struggles so here. In general, however, the concepts are clear if a little broad and empirically difficult to verify.

2002). The increase not only of students who ravel to foreign countries, but also who utilize higher education through new communication means such as the Internet, is changing not simply the way that higher education is delivered but the population, in both absolute and proportional terms, that the education is being delivered too (Turpin et al. 2002).
These changes do not necessarily promote an increased quality in higher education, nor does it bode well for Australian students who pay far less than international students, often nothing at all, for their higher education (Turpin et al. 2002).

The authors of this article examine the issue of internationalization in higher education not simply from the perspective of the boon it will provide to profits for higher education institutions and the government, nor for the increased sense of global community and information flow that it both indicates and facilitates, but rather from a more pragmatic and in some ways pessimistic view of how this will change the very quality ad principles of higher education -- and has begun to do so already (Turpin et al. 2002). The increase not only of students who ravel to foreign countries, but also who utilize higher education through new communication means such as the Internet, is changing not simply the way that higher education is delivered but the population, in both absolute and proportional terms, that the education is being delivered too (Turpin et al. 2002).

These changes do not necessarily promote an increased quality in higher education, nor does it bode well for Australian students who pay far less than international students, often nothing at all, for their higher education (Turpin et al. 2002). The shifting focus to international education means national students might get left out, and the authors' objectivity in this regard lends a great deal of reliability to their article.

Foreign Policy of President Reagan Before the disastrous Vietnam War, the U.S. held an undisputed dominant position worldwide, recognized locally as well as by other nations.

Nixon and Henry Kissinger worked secretly on Detente at summit meetings in Beijing and Moscow. President Gerald Ford signed on to Detente in Helsinki in 1975.
