- Summary:
- This is a case study of Senbon University in Japan by Jeremy Breaden (Japanese studies, Monash U., AU). Breaden's subject is internationalization in academia. Most administrators and governments currently hold that international faculty, students, and perspectives improve higher education. Japanese higher education tends to remain insular, however, though the Japanese government has made academic internationalization a goal. Internationalization has actually happened at Senbon, and Breaden sets out to look at how and why it has worked at this particular Japanese university. The author looks at patterns of both administrative and individual action. The book begins with an introduction on the "inside-out" approach, and has chapters on Japanese higher education reform, making sense of university internationalization, inside the Academy, managing the global campus, organizing internationalization, administrators and administrated, mobilizing conflict, and winners, losers, and internationalization reconsidered. The book will be useful to readers in both Japanese studies and academic administration. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
