近年来，国际化已不仅仅是一个流行词。它已成为一项领先的投资，产生了可观的收入，并被视为与国际高等教育品牌和排名密切相关的必要条件。作者将国际化解构为西方霸权视角，转而主张国际高等教育的全球本土化。全球本地化的重点是通过深层次的学术和社会参与的相互理解和共同价值观来提高本地和全球学习者群体的学习质量。通过文献梳理，解构浪漫化的国际化概念，揭示西方高等教育霸权固有的发展传播模式。接下来，本文提出了全球本地化参与框架（GEF）作为一个公平、包容和注重多样性的国际高等教育框架。在本文的结论部分，提出了进一步研究的关键问题，并提出了将 GEF 纳入国际高等教育主流课程转型议程的建议。鼓励国际高等教育机构在全球本地化参与框架内重新将议程重点放在学习质量上，以使学习者和教师群体能够跨越社会经济和政治界限，在全球本地（本地和全球）范围内对抗不平等现象。
Internationalization has become more than a buzz word in recent years. It has become a leading investment, generating substantial revenues, and is regarded as an imperative in its kinship to branding and rankings in international higher education. The author deconstructs internationalization as a western hegemonic perspective and advocates instead glocalization in international higher education. Glocalization focuses on enhancing the quality of learning for local and global learner cohorts through mutual understanding and shared values at a deep level of academic and social engagement. Following a literature review, the romanticized notion of internationalization is deconstructed to expose the inherent development communication model of Western hegemony in international higher education. Next, the paper presents the glocalization engagement framework (GEF) as an equitable, inclusive, and diversity-focused international higher education framework. In concluding the paper, critical questions are raised for further research and recommendations are made to embed the GEF within the mainstream curriculum transformation agendas in international higher education. International higher education institutions are encouraged to refocus their agendas on the quality of learning within a glocalization engagement framework to enable learner and teacher cohorts to contest inequities on a glocal (local and global) scale across socio-economic and political boundaries.
