Internationalization in the universities of Spain: Opportunities, imperatives, and outcomes.
Rumbley, Laura E.

Internationalization in the universities of Spain: Opportunities, imperatives, and outcomes. - 460 p.

Adviser: Philip G. Altbach.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston College, 2007.

This study examines the experiences of four Spanish universities with the phenomenon of internationalization, as understood principally through the conceptual framework provided by Knight's (1994) Internationalization Cycle. It describes and analyzes how the universities of Spain have responded to the opportunities and imperatives to internationalize since Spain's adherence to the European Union in 1986, and provides a critique of Knight's (1994) model.

520 $a This study examines the experiences of four Spanish universities with the phenomenon of internationalization, as understood principally through the conceptual framework provided by Knight's (1994) Internationalization Cycle. It describes and analyzes how the universities of Spain have responded to the opportunities and imperatives to internationalize since Spain's adherence to the European Union in 1986, and provides a critique of Knight's (1994) model.
520 $a The study draws on data collected from 23 semi-structured interviews with rectors, vice rectors, directors of international program offices, and key faculty at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Sevilla, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Universidad Alfonso X El Sabio. Information from university documents, institutional websites, and multiple campus visits serve to round out the analysis of the international dimension at these institutions, which were purposefully selected to provide a measure of variety in terms of age, size, location, and type.
520 $a As measured against Knight's (1994) six dimensions of internationalization, the case study institutions demonstrate high levels of awareness, commitment, and operationalization, but less dynamic performance in the areas of planning, review, and reinforcement. These institutions are motivated to internationalize based on historical and contemporary factors, as well as pragmatic and philosophical considerations. Their strategic priorities are highly geopolitical in nature, and are manifested most consistently through student mobility and faculty activities. Outcomes for internationalization are most apparent in terms of the universities' large numbers of inter-institutional agreements, significant levels of student and faculty mobility, and evolving political and administrative responses.
520 $a The Delta Cycle for Internationalization is proposed as an enhanced framework for understanding and analyzing internationalization at the case study institutions. This construct asserts that rationale, strategies, and outcomes must be incorporated into any analysis of internationalization; that four key environmental factors---opportunities, imperatives, obstacles, and resources---define the edges and core of the internationalization cycle; and that change---both in terms of the perpetually fluid nature of the external environment and the transformational impact of the phenomenon on institutions---is a defining feature of internationalization.
