INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION HUBS IN THE GLOB...

Education hubs are a recent phenomenon in higher education systems of predominantly Asian
countries to innovate local systems through the expertise of foreign actors  particularly from
English-speaking countries. To understand some of the phenomenon's implications on
international higher education  this empirical study compares attempts to create education hubs
in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. Two main research questions guide the comparative
study: First  it explores the analytical potential of current approaches to study the
phenomenon  and second  it investigates how education hubs change policy and governance in
international higher education. To answer these questions  interviews were conducted in both
countries and analyzed alongside policy documents. Thus  the study sheds light on how the
education hubs lead to the involvement of Global Education Industry actors in local systems and
how it creates new dynamics for policy making and research.
