Are North American HE institutions truly globally engaged?

“Are North American HE institutions truly globally engaged?” was published by Giorgio Marinoni and Gerardo Blanco, 1 August 2023.

Internationalisation of higher education is a concept that has been theorised and debated mainly by scholars coming from the so-called Global North and, among them, scholars from North America occupy a prominent place.
Many North American higher education institutions occupy first place in international rankings and the United States is the first destination country of international students around the world, while Canada is the third.
Therefore, one could have the perception that North America is the leading region in terms of internationalisation and global engagement. But is this really the case? Are North American higher education institutions really globally engaged?
