Abstract
ABSTRACT This conceptual paper critically examines the evolving landscape of international schooling against a complex backdrop of competing globalisations, one of which is post-globalisation, which we frame in terms of a modality of globalisation. Post-globalisation and the post-global foreground renewed interest in the nation state and the relationship between the nation and the global. In so doing, this paper challenges the conventional use of the adjective ‘international’ and instead proposes the ‘internationally-facing school’ as a more nuanced alternative. The notion of the ‘internationally-facing school’ reflects the unsettled nature of globalisation as encompassing post-global tendencies and elucidates the complex relationship between the global and the national in international school systems. The paper ends by suggesting that the internationally-facing school heuristic has the potential to transcend the context of international schooling and become a mobile concept applicable to various educational contexts. The paper also advocates for further research to explore the practical implications of the ‘internationally-facing school’ and its relevance to both international and non-international school contexts.
