Global Studies Literature Review, Volume 4

The theme for this issue of the Global Studies Literature Review is "Critical Perspectives on Internationalization." This theme reflects the growing scrutiny of international higher education in the early twenty-first century, in which some scholars are predicting internationalization's "end" or "midlife crisis."

Several review essays highlight this intriguing aspect of the "midlife crisis":

• James O'Meara's argument that internationalization should not be viewed monolithically but rather as a divergent set of practices
• Bryan McAllister-Grande's consideration of the work of Josef Mestenhauser and the recent history of the internationalization movement
• Emily Gorlewski's review of the new SAGE Handbook of International Higher Education and its inclusion of non-Western ideas and sources
