In this paper, we look at the processes of globalisation and internationalisation, especially as they impact higher education in developing nations. The two concepts are quite different in their approach as are the consequences for these nations. We attempt to show that, whereas globalisation is an extension of historical imbalances linked to Western colonialisation and dominance, internationalisation has the potential to create more equitable relations. However, it is important to realise that internationalisation is perceived differently in the West and in developing societies. We take a closer look at the situation in China to support our analysis.
