Globalization and Higher Education: the Polish Perspective
Globalization and Higher Education: the Polish Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The impact of the process of globalization on higher education institutions and policies is profound, but also diverse, depending on the specific location on the global arena (Marginson & Van der Wende, 2007; Ball, 2012). This paper focuses on relations between globalization and higher education from the perspective of Poland. It analyses various concepts of globalization and economic and socio-cultural aspects of globalization that seem to considerably affect higher education institutions. Then, the major effects of globalization on higher education in Poland are discussed, and some implications for Polish higher education institutions are presented in order to help them better cope with rapid global changes and meet international standards.
