Abstract

Most of the challenges faced by the Palestinian higher education institutions (HEIs) towards internationalization stem from the problematic nature of bilateral relations of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in West Bank and Gaza Strip (WBGS) with Israel. Evaluating the geo-political, socio-economic, historical, and organizational barriers to internationalization of higher education in the WBGS, the chapter elaborates on the cumulative effects of the Israeli direct and indirect control over the WBGS on the development of universities, the impact of geo-political restraints of being a conflict zone, and logistical restrictions imposed on the movement of academics, visitors, and academic materials. Various domestic challenges including the political and ideological differences within the PA, the quality of national-level governance, and planning in higher education and financing are also highlighted throughout. Referring to the catalysts and obstacles, the chapter concludes with a reflection on the future challenges and prospects facing the Palestinian HEIs in a dynamic yet challenging context.

巴勒斯坦高等教育国际化的国家前景与区域挑战

巴勒斯坦高等教育机构在走向国际化方面面临的大多数挑战源于西岸和加沙地带的巴勒斯坦权力机构与以色列双边关系的问题性质。本章评估了WBGS地区高等教育国际化的地缘政治、社会经济、历史和组织障碍，详细阐述了以色列对WBGS地区大学发展的直接和间接控制的累积效应，作为冲突地区的地缘政治限制的影响，以及对学者、访客和学术材料流动的后勤限制。各种国内挑战，包括PA内部的政治和意识形态差异，国家一级治理的质量，以及高等教育和融资的规划，也在整个过程中得到强调。在谈到催化剂和障碍时，本章最后反思了巴勒斯坦高等教育机构在充满活力但充满挑战的背景下面临的未来挑战和前景。
