| Abstract: | International academic partnerships have the potential to enhance the participating institution’s efforts to become actors
in the global educational arena. The ability of partnerships to realize their objectives is affected by the relationship that
the partner members have with one another and the mutual benefit each receives from the agreement. This article examines the
dynamics of an academic partnership between Transformed University an historically disadvantaged institution in the Eastern
Cape Province in South Africa and three international partners from the US, Canada, and the European Economic Community. The
paper illuminates a variety of factors including history, organizational culture, and globalization forces that affect the
success of academic partnerships to reach their stated objectives. |
