This book explores the central theme of internationalization in higher education and its multifaceted dimensions through the context of Moroccan higher education. It delves into the diverse aspects of internationalization relevant to many global institutions, such as internationalization of the curriculum, inclusion of diverse student bodies, and management of mobility programs. It also addresses specificities of the Moroccan context through programs and policies reacting to limitations related to international travel and visas, financial constraints, and climate change. The various chapters present a theoretical perspective on these issues and delve into the different facets of internationalization, presenting case studies, research findings, and practical strategies for institutions to navigate the complexities of a globalized world.
