Internationalization of Higher Educations (HEs) is still mainly seen as a westernized, largely Anglo-Saxon, and predominantly English-speaking paradigm. Following Hans de Wit’s theory on comprehensive and inclusive approach of internationalization (2019) and using the rationales of Jane Knight in critically seeing the aspect of internationalization and the competitive agenda of HEs (2010), a joint research by Dr. Falikul Isbah (Universitas Gadjah Mada), Dr. phil. Vissia Ita Yulianto (Universitas Gadjah Mada & National Chengchi University), Dr. Le Thi-Nham (National Chengchi University) and Dr. Muhammad Rum (Universitas Gadjah Mada) investigates how the components of today’s neoliberal approach of HEs are at the cost of the issue of inclusion in Indonesia, Taiwan and Vietnam. The group is photographed with Prof. Ching-Ping Tang, vice president of International Affairs, National Chengchi University. They also had conducted interviews with university administrators, scholars and students in National University of Science and Technology (NTUST) and Tamkang University (TKU), Taiwan (ROC).
