ABSTRACT
The growth of transnational collaboration in higher education, the growth of virtual deliv ery of education products, offshore campuses, and so on, are responses to and enhancements of a globalized trend of knowledge economy growth and expansion. Education without students is meaningless, and a globalized higher education is expressed through the enormous growth of international student mobility. Transnational education A feature of a globalized knowledge economy is that higher education becomes, at least in part, an export industry. A study of globalized higher education not only enhances our understanding of the role of higher education in global processes and the impact of global processes on higher education, it also provides an insight into globalization in general. The continuing uneven flow of international students from the global South to the North, however, represents a further bias in the structure and outcome of globalized higher education.
