Abstract
Integration is a concept that is referred to very widely in relation internationalisation, yet its meaning is rarely explored and its benefits are often assumed. In this article we start by reviewing the conceptualisation of ‘integration’ across different fields, notably education and the internationalisation of education; intercultural communication; health psychology; and organisational studies. We propose that the varying interpretations within and across these fields can be synthesised by considering the different levels at which integration can be analysed – individual level, community level and institutional level. We then review the multiple benefits that integration can bring at these different levels, while acknowledging their interconnections, and noting the potential risks from ignoring integration. We end by proposing a framework to help universities and all of their members (staff and students) develop their own strategies and priorities for enhancing integration.
