It argues<br>that the rapid global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, that has<br>posed one of the most formidable challenges to globalisation and<br>internationalisation, was made possible precisely because of the advanced<br>stage of development that globalisation had reached. The lockdowns<br>and near total restriction on international mobility, closure of schools<br>and universities, and other effects and responses to the pandemic<br>add to the restrictions on internationalisation imposed by conservative<br>regimes in the North and the South. The article focuses on three<br>issues: i) the contradictory trends in globalisation as relevant to internationalisation;<br>ii) Trumpism and deepening neoliberal globalisation; and<br>iii) networks and institutions in promoting internationalisation in the<br>Global South. It argues that Trumpism and Brexit involve a renegotiation<br>of the terms of engagement and attempts to reposition and re-assert the<br>hegemony of certain players in the global economy. The article argues<br>that, although certain aspects of internationalisation in higher education<br>have become more difficult to preserve, it has deepened in other ways and<br>taken new forms, thanks to the extensive use of new communications<br>media and technologies. Internationalisation has not always been, and<br>will not always be, ‘intentional’, but it can be harnessed to being about a<br>more equitable form of globalisation.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of African Higher Education}, author={Sall, Ebrima}, year={2020}, month={Nov.} }
