8. While internationalism is hardly a new feature of university life, globalization embodies the capacity for deep-seated structural transformations. In this article, we distinguish between internationalization and globalization. However, we also distinguish between globalism or internationalism (as ideology) and globalization or internationalization (as process).

Certainly in the Asia-Pacific region there is emerging evidence of higher education regional development through forums such as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC).
