Globalization, internationalism, massification, and privatization are the main engines driving changes in higher education worldwide. Globalization has increased the role of English, opportunities for study/research via technology, and emergence of international knowledge networks. Internationalism involves sending students abroad, setting up overseas campuses/partnerships, and implementing policies to respond to globalization. Massification means responding to greater demands by producing a more diverse higher education system. Privatization treats higher education as a private enterprise focused on absorbing student demand and operating under a business model.
