In the face of a new wave of globalization, cultural mobility, and criticism of Anglo-American dominance, educational administrators and leaders must respond to the challenges of internationalizing their curricula and accommodating diversity. This edited collection offers conceptual frameworks, models, theoretical approaches, and strategies that can inform and guide the development of a genuinely international curriculum. Offering an in-depth look at cases in countries such as Sweden, the US, the UK, Turkey, Oman, Cameroon, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Australia, the authors investigate how factors such as institutional culture, faculty recruitment and development, learning styles, accreditation and standards, political orientation, policy, and availability of financial resources may either facilitate or inhibit the internationalization of the curriculum. The collection also includes broader international issues of diverse humanisms, postcolonial issues, and corruption, fraud, and abuse in internationalization that have occurred that need to be addressed in educational administration and leadership to improve internationalization. Acknowledging the need for a much broader set of cultural traditions within which educational administrators and leaders are equipped to function, this book provides a critical insight into how they might navigate the challenges of creating a truly international curriculum.
