阿拉伯海湾国家是全球最大的国际分支校园所在地。通过将阿拉伯湾国家的高等教育能力增加30 000多个名额，外国机构通过各种形式的跨国提供，大大增加了生活在这些国家的年轻人接受高等教育的机会。然而，跨国高等教育的批评者认为，它可以被视为新的新殖民主义，它使提供者比接受者受益更多。本研究旨在确定阿拉伯湾国家可能从跨国高等教育中受益的利益攸关方，并审查这些利益攸关方实际受益的程度，发现跨国高等教育在阿拉伯湾国家的经济、文化和社会发展中发挥着重要作用。A U S T R A L I A N U N I V E R S T I E S ' R E V I E W
The Arab Gulf States are the largest hosts of international branch campuses globally. By increasing higher education capacity in the Arab Gulf States by over 30,000 places, foreign institutions have, through various forms of transnational provision, increased significantly the accessibility of higher education to young people living in these countries. However, critics of transnational higher education have suggested that it can be seen as the new neo-colonialism which benefits the providers much more than the receivers. This study aims to identify the stakeholders that might benefit from transnational higher education in the Arab Gulf States, and to examine the extent to which those stakeholders are actually benefiting from it. It was found that transnational higher education is playing a large role in the economic, cultural and social development of the Arab Gulf States.
