香港由于其独特的文化和地理位置，成为连接东西方的桥梁和通往中国的门户。近二十年来，香港的大学一直寻求跨境合作，旨在发展创新的教育项目，以及具有亚洲和西方视角的研究企业。因此，高等教育的格局发生了前所未有的变化，香港的公帑资助院校必须考虑这一趋势及其原因和后果，以帮助它们更好地开展工作。尽管近二十年来香港高等教育界的发展充满活力，但很少有研究在香港的特定背景下研究上述期间的国际化轨迹。本研究对近二十年来上海高等教育国际化的发展进行了全面的历史回顾。研究结果对从事高等教育工作的学者和行政人员极有价值，因为它提供了有关国际化的最新进程、政策和发展的最新阐述，这可能有助于解决香港和海外的特定机构需求。
ABSTRACT Owing to Hong Kong’s unique cultural and geographical position, it acts as the bridge between East and West, and the gateway to China. In the recent two decades, cross-border collaborations have been sought by the universities in Hong Kong, aiming to develop innovative education programs, and research enterprises with Asian and Western perspectives. As a result, the landscape of higher education has evolved in an unprecedented degree, making it important for publicly-funded institutions in Hong Kong to take this trend, its causes and consequences into consideration to help them do their job better. Despite all the dynamics in Hong Kong’s higher education sector in these recent two decades very few studies have been undertaken to examine the trajectory of internationalization during the aforesaid period within a Hong-Kong-specific context. This research offers an all-rounded historical review investigating the development of internationalization in respect of the city’s higher education sector in the recent two decades. The findings are of high value to scholars and administrators who have a role in higher education because it offers an up-to-date exposition of the latest processes, policies and development of internationalization, which may help address specific institutional needs both in Hong Kong and overseas.
