Teofilo C. Daquila, a distinguished international student, educator, and scholar, has dedicated his extensive years of experience to conducting research on the internationalization of higher education (IHE). As a crucial policy issue and a subject of interest for governments and universities worldwide, IHE has emerged as a prominent area of study. Daquila's research aims to explore the extent of internationalization in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Australia, Singapore, and Japan, regarding its determinants and impacts. To achieve this, he employs a multi- and inter-disciplinary framework of analysis, encompassing historical, political, geographical, economic, social, and cultural dimensions.

In his examination, Daquila selects three renowned universities as case studies to investigate their internationalization experiences and assess their competitiveness. These universities are the University of Melbourne, the National University of Singapore, and Kyoto University. To evaluate their competitiveness, he employs four key indicators: governance and structure, demand conditions, factor conditions, and internationalization strategies. These indicators are derived from the broader concept of IHE, which encompasses expansion, broadening/diversification, deepening, and facilitation.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to gain insights into the internationalization of higher education, its multifaceted determinants, and the diverse perspectives it encompasses. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the competitiveness and internationalization experiences and strategies of these leading universities, making it an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and educators interested in this field.
