The book explores the interactive relationships between global and national pressures in policy development by comparing the international HE policies in China and Australia. It identifies similarities and differences in promoting and deepening IHE, transnational cooperation, and international student numbers. Differences include Chinas soft power initiatives and Australias appeal for the sustainability of international HE, the focus on "World Class Universities" construction in China and strengthening the overall HE system in Australia, and different issues in relation to people mobility and brain circulation.

Internationalization of higher education (IHE) has become a global trend, with many nations pursuing it in their higher education (HE) policies. This book focuses on two nations, China and Australia, to explore the interactive relationships between global and national pressures in policy development. The book documents and analyzes three categories of policies: overarching meta-policies at the macrolevel (nation), institution-focused policies at the mesolevel (universities), and people-focused policies at the microlevel (individuals). Similarities include promoting and deepening IHE as an important agenda in national policies, promoting transnational cooperation in the provision of HE, and increasing international student numbers and encouraging an outflow of student learning and exchanges. Differences include China's soft power initiatives and Australia's appeal for the sustainability of international HE as a national priority, the focus on "World Class Universities" construction in China and strengthening the overall HE system in Australia, and different issues in relation to people mobility and brain circulation. It is suggested that different responses to the global trends reflect the specificities of each nation and the ways path-dependence shapes their policies.
