Abstract
This chapter uses two recent Canadian policies to frame and discuss emerging topics in Canadian comparative and international education. The first policy is the Accord on the Internationalization of Education (AIE) (ACDE, 2014) prepared by the Association of Canadian Deans of Education. The second policy is the Canadian government policy on higher education: Canada’s International Education Strategy: Harnessing our knowledge advantage to drive innovation and prosperity (CIES) (Government of Canada, 2014). Given Canada’s traditionally decentralized education system with universities working autonomously, a joint Deans’ Association policy, a federal government policy on education, and the substantially enhanced role of the corporate sector in setting education goals provide a very different and contested context for conducting comparative and international education research. This chapter provides some insight into how Canadian comparative and international education researchers are approaching this context.
