However, the shape and purpose of internationalisation in the higher education environment has undergone many changes – many of those related to globalisation. Various phases in the internationalisation of higher education and various types of response to a somewhat mobile and increasingly diverse student population in the UK, Australia, Europe, Malaysia and the USA have been described in the literature (Back et al., 1997; Mestenhauser, 1998; Van der Wende, 2000; Lee, 2000; Webb, 2005; De Vita, 2007). One could argue that internationalisation of the curriculum in higher education is constantly in a process of transformation (Foucault, 1981). Furthermore, given the rapid pace of change in the world as a result of globalisation, this constant state of transformation is perhaps understandable, even if the transformations themselves are not predictable. But are we responding appropriately? In 1998, Josef Mestenhauser argued that if we are to internationalise the curriculum we will need to challenge both the nature of the curriculum and the paradigms on which it is based (p. 21). He argued that up to that point in time internationalisation of the curriculum had been focused too much on projects and programmes designed to train a few students as future international affairs specialists, completely ignoring the fact that all graduates will work in a global setting, as engineers, accountants, doctors, etc. This chapter is an attempt to explore some of the issues associated with curriculum reform and innovation for internationalisation. It makes direct reference to the findings of research into the impact of changes implemented in an Australian university at about the time Mestenhauser was writing – changes designed to transform and internationalise the curriculum in a large Australian university. The research highlighted some of the issues associated with curriculum innovation and provided some insights into possible ways forward.
