The policy making in internationalisation of higher education is shaped at the national level, and influenced by regional policy debates and globalisation trends, but it tends to obscure the perspectives of academics. Much of what has been written in the scholarly literature in this area has focused on institutional strategies and national policies. We argue that it is crucial to have an in-depth understanding of how academics experience and practice internationalisation in their core teaching and research because of their centrality. This study sought to examine how internationalisation is constructed and enacted at a local or micro level at a research-intensive university in Sweden. Based on the interview data collected from nine semi-structured interviews with the academic staff from various disciplinary groups and three interviews with faculty administrators, we contend that the individual agency of academics serves as a precursor for institutional policy-making.

大学国际化：全球现象的地方视角

高等教育国际化的政策制定是国家层面的，受区域政策争论和全球化趋势的影响，但往往会模糊学术界的观点。该领域学术文献中的大部分内容都集中在制度战略和国家政策上。我们认为，深入了解学术界在其核心教学和研究中如何体验和实践国际化至关重要，因为它们具有中心地位。本研究旨在研究瑞典一所研究型大学如何在地方或微观层面构建和实施国际化。
