Abstract

The current paper applies the Critical Discourse Analysis in order to analyse the academic discussion on higher education internationalization at the Symposium Trends in International Higher Education and Regionalism at the Waseda University in 2008. The aim of the current paper is to uncover hidden meanings in the academic discussions of international experts on higher education internationalization. The analysis of the panellists’ discussion reveals that the world is characterized by inequality between the rich and poor countries, education systems and universities. Despite the societal belief in the education as public good, it is subject to commercial trade today. From the analysis, we can see the clash of two ideologies “education as private good” and “education as public good”. Many participants expressed negative evaluations of liberalism in education, suggesting that more emphasis should be put on cooperation than competition. In this discussion, we can observe a clash between supporters and opponents of liberal education policy. With issues of inequality between countries, education systems, universities and people, as well as issues of ethnic disagreements threatening the harmony of diversity, the world is perceived by speakers as much more complex as it seems at first.
