The British Association for International and Comparative Education (BAICE) Annual Conference 2008 will be hosted by the Department of Adult and Continuing Education, Scotland.  In this conference the theme of internationalisation and its multiple meanings wil be explored for governments, universities, futher education providers, schools and other education agencies.   To what degree is internationlisation merely a convenient label for the commercial exploitation of education? Does internationlisation mean the same as globalisation?  How is local culure compromised or enhanced by an emphasis on international education?  How is difference configured into an international social, cultural, economic and eudcational agenda?  Is the idea of social justice subservient to economic considerations in internationalisation discourse?  These and other related questions will be explored throughout this 2008 Conference.  For further details please visit: http://www.baice.ac.uk/events/forthcoming_events.shtml
