A Framework for Quality in International Higher Education: Policy and Practice in Chile As a Case Study A FRAMEWORK FOR QUALITY IN INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION: POLICY AND PRACTICE IN CHILE AS A CASE STUDY Emeline Jerez orcid.org/0000-0001-6697-0745 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2018 Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education Melbourne Graduate School of Education The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT In a globalised environment, internationalisation has become increasingly important to the higher education sector, with varying rationales and intensities. Even though higher education has long had an international dimension, the elevation of internationalisation to one of its primary functions is evolving its character in many countries. An increased inflow of international students and greater academic collaborations, alongside intense competition, now characterise an international higher education arena where national boundaries become blurred. These blurred boundaries raise questions about protection of consumers and reputation for the quality of national systems. Like internationalisation, a focus on quality has become increasingly embedded in the higher education culture since the 1990s. Despite being contemporary processes, there are relatively few studies concerned with their convergence, particularly, the examination of the factors or variables explaining quality in international higher education. This study explores the main elements that contribute to success in international higher education at the system level. The study adopts a national, case study approach. Qualitative data is collected through document analysis, questionnaires to international experts and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in Chile, the context of the case study. Based on an adaptive theory approach, the study constructs a framework for quality in international higher education following an iterative process that brings together the previous management theory of quality as continuous improvement and a novel theory emerging from the empirical data. This process yields an expanded and adapted framework for a bounded higher education system. The significance of this study lies in the contribution of its empirical findings to theory as well as policy and practice. The study adds to theory by building a comprehensive understanding of quality in international higher education that identifies operational dimensions of ‘excellence’ in the area. Based on this theoretical understanding, a conceptual framework is developed which includes instruments, actors and structures that explain success or failure in international higher education. The applicability of the model is assessed using the case study of Chilean higher education. This new understanding helps to expand on the future of quality in international higher education by setting out several recommendations for policy and practice. The insights gained from this study are of particular assistance to Chilean higher education to better respond to the globalisation challenges and meet the ambition of being more competitive internationally. This study shows that the lack of a national strategic perspective towards international higher education is one of the main factors inhibiting the operation of the full quality cycle. Even though there has been major advancement at the level of individual higher education institutions, there are structural elements that are contingent on national policy. Among these are proper regulation, funding schemes and second language developments in lower educational levels. This study enhances our understanding of quality in international higher education and sheds light on the series of factors and variables that, in a structured and organised way, help in its management. It develops a framework that contains new innovative analytical tools for predicting and managing success in international higher education at the macro (government), intermediate (agencies) and micro (higher education institution) levels. The viability of the model is assessed using the case study of Chile but its applicability can be examined in other countries. Therefore, this framework may be of interest to policymakers, practitioners and researchers in the field of international higher education for the study of other national contexts as well as cross-country analysis to identify differences between systems. i DECLARATION This is to certify that: i. The thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, ii. Due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used, iii.

  • Socio-Territorial Conflicts in Chile: Configuration and Politicization (2005-2014)
    European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies Revista Europea de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Caribe No. 104 (2017): July-December, pp. 23-46 www.erlacs.org Socio-Territorial Conflicts in Chile: Configuration and Politicization (2005-2014) Gonzalo Delamaza Universidad de Los Lagos Antoine Maillet Universidad de Chile Christian Martínez Neira Universidad de Los Lagos Abstract Within a context of intensifying socio-territorial conflicts in several countries, this paper analyses a database of 101 conflicts occurring in Chile between 2005 and 2014. These con- flicts emerged from specific territorial problems, were scattered throughout the country, and did not involve urban centres. The evidence examined here shows significant contentious activity in non-metropolitan territories during this period. These conflicts occur in different places, arise from local problems and articulate new actors into the political game. They have had an impact on the modification of public and private investment projects and can also bring broader political consequences. The paper widens the argument that extractivism is the source of these conflicts, and suggests that politicization processes have modified what was once a Chilean historical pattern of relatively centralized conflict articulated by traditional political actors. It also identifies some venues for future research to more accu- rately determine the political consequences of such conflicts. Keywords: socio-territorial conflicts, extractivism, social movements, impact, Chile. Resumen: Los conflictos socio-territoriales en Chile: Configuración y politización (2005- 2014) En el contexto de la intensificación de los conflictos socio-territoriales en diversos países de América Latina, se analiza un conjunto de 101 conflictos ocurridos en Chile entre 2005 y 2014.

  • Social Theories of Urban Violence in the Global South
    i Social Theories of Urban Violence in the Global South While cities often act as the engines of economic growth for developing countries, they are also frequently the site of growing violence, poverty, and inequality. Yet, social theory, largely developed and tested in the Global North, is often inadequate in tackling the realities of life in the dangerous parts of cities in the Global South. Drawing on the fi ndings of an ambitious fi ve- year, 15- project research programme, Social Theories of Urban Violence in the Global South offers a uniquely Southern perspective on the violence– poverty– inequalities dynamics in cities of the Global South. Through their research, urban violence experts based in low- and middle- income countries demonstrate how “urban violence” means different things to different people in different places. While some researchers adopt or adapt existing theoretical and conceptual frameworks, others develop and test new theories, each interpreting and operationalizing the concept of urban violence in the particular context in which they work. In particular, the book highlights the links between urban violence, poverty, and inequalities based on income, class, gender, and other social cleavages. Providing important new perspectives from the Global South, this book will be of interest to policymakers, academics, and students with an interest in violence and exclusion in the cities of developing countries. Jennifer Erin Salahub managed the Safe and Inclusive Cities initiative, a global research programme jointly funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development. Markus Gottsbacher is senior programme specialist with the Governance and Justice programme at the International Development Research Centre.
