"The book chronicles the history of the collaborative partnership between MIT and the Singapore Ministry of Education to create the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the country's fourth public university. Fisher describes how MIT faculty communicated the practices and identity of the Institute as they developed and executed the vision for SUTD, and how local actors at the university reframed, modified, and adapted these practices to fit the local political, cultural, and economic context in Singapore. Fisher focuses on the early years of SUTD's development. She looks at the Singaporean government's intentions in founding a fourth university, and how prior research partnerships with MIT provided the confidence on both sides required to design an innovative curricular structure for SUTD. Using the techniques of ethnography, Fisher investigates the personal and professional incentives for MIT professors to invest their time and expertise in the project, how the early SUTD administration managed to market the fledgling institution to Singaporean students while dealing with temporary campus facilities, and how the first cohorts of students negotiated the unfamiliar pedagogy and curricular structures designed by MIT"--

Au cours des dix dernières années, de nombreux pays ont conçu des politiques explicites d'internationalisation de leurs systèmes d'enseignement supérieur, reconnaissant les avantages d'une expérience internationale pour préparer les étudiants à une économie en pleine mondialisation, ainsi que les nombreuses opportunités crées par la mobilité transnationale en termes d'innovation, d'amélioration et de développement des capacités dans l'enseignement supérieur et dans l'économie dans son ensemble. Des cas de fraude et des comportements opportunistes ont cependant montré que ces promesses s’accompagnent de risques pour les étudiants et d’autres acteurs de l'enseignement tertiaire. C'est précisément dans le but d'aider toutes les parties prenantes à minimiser ces risques et à renforcer les dynamiques d'ouverture, de collaboration et de transparence entre les pays que l'UNESCO et l'OCDE ont développé ensemble leurs Lignes directrices pour des prestations de qualité dans l'enseignement supérieur transfontalier. Analysant dans quelle mesure les acteurs de l'enseignement supérieur se sont conformés à ces lignes directrices en 2014, cet ouvrage intéressera les décideurs, les directeurs d'établissements d'enseignement supérieur et les agences d'assurance qualité, ainsi que les universitaires et autres parties intéressées par l'enseignement supérieur et son internationalisation.

In the past decade, many countries have designed explicit internationalisation policies for their higher education systems, acknowledging the benefits of international exposure to prepare students for a globalising economy as well as the many opportunities of cross-border mobility for innovation, improvement and capacity development in higher education and in the economy. Cases of fraud and opportunistic behaviour have shown that these promises come with risks for students and other tertiary education stakeholders though. It is precisely to help all stakeholders to minimise these risks and strengthen the dynamics of openness, collaboration and transparency across countries that UNESCO and OECD jointly developed the Guidelines for Quality Provision in Cross-Border Higher Education. This book monitors the extent to which tertiary education stakeholders complied with the Guidelines in 2014. It will be of interest to policy makers, leaders of tertiary education institutions and quality assurance agencies, as well as to academics and other parties interested in higher education and its internationalisation.
