Jens Jungblut Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo Professor Jungblut's webpage Friday, January 17, 2020 - 12:30pm Meigs Hall, 101 Education Policy Seminar The International Association of Universities (IAU) is the only inclusive and global meta-organization in higher education, its membership barriers are low, yet few universities are members despite considerable benefits. We therefore ask the question, what determines membership in this meta-organization? We argue that universities seeking to internationalize as well as those with a greater need for legitimation are more likely to become members. Jens Jungblut is associate professor for public policy/public administration in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Oslo.
