In September 2010, the International Association of Universities will release a new publication Internationalization of Higher Education: Global Trends, Regional Perspectives.
This is the IAU’s 3rd Global Survey Report for which data was collected in 2009 and has contributions from internationalization experts from around the world. It is based on the analysis of results from HEIs in 115 countries making it one of the largest internationalization studies of its kind.
The Executive Director of ANIE authored the Africa chapter in this publication and was part of the IAU Task Force that undertook this study. To order a copy, please contact iau@iau-aiu.net

This issue of Higher Education Policy focused on internationalization of higher education in Africa. It explored how internationalization impacts on higher education in Africa and how this impact might be different from other world regions. The issue has six papers focusing on the central theme, five of which are contributions from members of ANIE. Three of these papers are from the new generation scholars of ANIE through whom research capacity on internationalization is being developed. The papers provide empirical analysis of salient issues on internationalization of higher education in Africa ranging from quality issues, the role of ICT, academic partnerships & collaborations, academic resources and a broader understanding of the current trends and implications of internationalization in Africa.

ANIE was established as an outcome of the research project on Higher Education in Africa: The International Dimension. Jointly published by the Centre for International Higher Education (CIHE), Boston College and Association of African Universities (AAU), the book documents and analyses the international dimension of higher education in Africa based on country-case studies and a consideration of relevant historical and contemporary themes. It identifies the trends, developments and challenges related to the international dimension of higher education at the institutional, national and regional levels. The revelations of this publication were part of the basis for the establishment of ANIE with the aim of developing capacity and expertise on the international dimension of higher education in Africa.

The Fall 2008 issue of the Institute for International Education (IIE) Networker Magazine was on the theme International Education Trends in Africa. IIE has been engaging in a number of activities to develop higher education in Africa. This issue has several papers from the founding ANIE members on internationalization of Education in Africa. They cover issues on status, challenges and prospects of internationalization; international students mobility; internationalization in Africa in relation to other parts of the world and an introduction to the new generation scholars program (NESI) established by ANIE.
