The post-1990s commercial turn in the internationalisation of higher education has spawned the global research university (GRU). Promoting teaching initiatives and research partnerships in the name of the neoliberal knowledge economy, GRUs that play in the global higher education super league encounter numerous contradictions. The Ethics of Internationalisation is a critique of three of them: to reclaim internationalisation from its commercial hijackers, who are dazzled by the skyline of corporate globalisation, Bregham Dalgliesh outlines an ethical iteration that reimagines the university in respect of the existential imperative of the Anthropocene; secondly, he reveals the ethical dilemmas of transnational scholars, who face marginalisation when their difference confronts the ethno-national organisation culture of GRUs and their proclivity for sameness, which is embodied by local scholars; and, thirdly, he articulates the politics of the idea of the university, which under the logic of new public management valorises commercially viable research and vilifies critically valuable enquiry.
Bregham Dalgliesh has worked in Canadian, Scottish, French, American and Japanese academe for more than twenty-five years. He is professor-in-waiting at the University of Tokyo and specialises in critical philosophy.
