International Strategic University Partnership: Interaction Models
Abstract
Building capacity for working in a global environment is a serious challenge for any university. Modern universities have accumulated vast experience in international cooperation, but in the context of increasing interdependence and competition, as well as limited resources, the development of innovative strategies for internationalization as a resource for the development of higher education is becoming imperative. The article analyzes the changes in approaches to the internationalization of universities on the basis of the development of strategic partnership and increasing their effectiveness in the context of globalization. The models of international strategic partnership are presented depending on the types of integration ties and the complexity of partnership relations.
