It presents the conceptual framework of internationalisation of higher education and internationalisation activities and programmes, Then, it describes rationales for internationalisation whereby it provides some insight and implications into foreign policy and international relations. Finally, it discusses IoHE within context of foreign policy, IR and IR theories. By that way, it indicates the relationship of internationalisation of higher education with foreign policy and international relations.
