Exploring the peculiar relationship between higher education quality and internationalization: a discourse analytical and spatial reading of four European university strategies by Hanne Kirstine Adriansen, Lene Møller Madsen, Taina Saarinen, Johanna Waters

“…First, we analyse what quality means in relation to internationalization within the strategies and show that the meaning is often empty; then, we unfold the implicit meanings of this ‘self-evident quality’. With a spatial perspective we analyse how the universities position themselves in the world and how this is intertwined with notions of quality. …”
