ABSTRACT

A well-known development trend is the internationalization of higher education, which is fundamentally a process of cross-cultural interaction and the negotiation of shared meaning based on equality and respect. The struggle for talent is intensifying the competition of the entire national strength. International cooperation in higher education has emerged as a key tactic for nations looking to develop interdisciplinary talent with a keen sense of global awareness, familiarity with international economic concepts and norms. Western developed nations still hold the hegemonic position in global competition and are at the forefront of the internationalization of higher education as a result of the early development of this field. The movement of top-notch educational resources from developed countries to developing nations, however, is the core of the contemporary globalization of education. With the rise of developing nations in recent years, China and Qatar have established two development models—Sino-foreign cooperative education and invitation-based education—that have become internationally recognized successes in the internationalization of higher education. To serve as a reference for the growth of higher education internationalization in developing nations, this article chooses two cases, China and Qatar, for an in-depth comparison.
