Editors’ Notes

International branch campuses (IBCs) are part of the leading edge of development in the global higher education sector. Internally, they are part of the transformation of some higher education institutions into multinational enterprises, operating campuses, offices, and research sites around the globe. Externally, they are part of a growing trend of governments relying on foreign education providers to build their local education capacity and to garner increased international attention. Over the past decade, IBCs have been the target of much criticism (some deserved, some not) and a little praise (mostly from those intimately involved with their operations). However, scholarly writing about the topic has been limited, though it has increased precipitously in the past five years. We see the role of this volume as using the extant scholarly literature, original research, and observations from experts to provide readers with insights about the practice of leading IBCs.
