Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 foreign, and 13 local students. The results show that there is a dissonance between policymakers and implementers, and the students themselves on “what a truly international higher education organization” in fact is. Moreover, the results suggest that asymmetrical aims of local and foreign students endanger fulfillment of the academic, social, and cultural rationales behind internationalization. Fulfilling the rationales of internationalization depends not only the adaptability of foreign students to local conditions but also on the priorities, choices and level of commitment of local students, administrative staff, and faculty members to the imperatives of internationalization.  \nKey words: higher education, internationalization, foreign students, study abroad, management of internationalization  \nBeing one of the top issues on the agendas of higher education organizations (HEOs), internationalization has increasingly been gaining the attention of educational researchers. Several scholars elaborated on the concept of internationalization (e.g., Enders, 2004; Deem, 2001; Huisman, Maassen, & Neave, 2001; Teichler, 1999, 2004), and advanced political, economic, academic, cultural, and social rationales behind internationalization (e.g., Healey, 1998; Shepherd, Monk, & Fortuijn, 2000; Haigh, 2002), and  \nYasar Kondakci, Department of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Education, Middle East Technical University, Turkey; Herman Van den Broeck, Faculty of Economics and Vlerick-LeuvenGhent Management School, Ghent University, Belgium; Ali Yildirim, Faculty of Education, Middle East Technical University, Turkey.  \nCorrespondence concerning this article should be addressed to Yasar Kondakci, Department of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Education, Middle East Technical University 06531 Ankara, [Turkey. E-mail: kyasar@metu.edu.tr](Turkey. E-mail: kyasar@metu.edu.tr)  \ndocumented the approaches to internationalization (e.g., Denman, 2001; Knight, 1999; Kondakci, Van den Broeck,& Devos, 2006; McBurnie, 2000) .  \nIt can be argued that macrolevel horizontal analyses dominate the current literature on internationalization in higher education. Macrolevel horizontal analyses on internationalization of higher education share one or a combination of the following qualities: (a) conceptualizing internationalization as a macrolevel policy issue; (b) focusing on traditional destinations of foreign students that are economically developed, Anglophone countries with Anglo-Saxon higher education systems; (c) focusing on academic issues and leaving less room for other issues such as social and managerial issues; and (d) focusing on the perspectives of foreign students only. These horizontal analyses have helped to identify the boundaries of internationalization in higher education. Nevertheless, previous empirical and conceptual analyses have been criticized for leaving behind several blind spots in the  \nChallenges of Internationalization  \ndiscussions of internationalization (Enders, 2004) .  \nVertical analyses on the level, context, and scope of analysis are essential in order to reveal the complexities of internationalization. First, there is a need for more microlevel analyses focusing on implementation of internationalization process and experiences of the students, academics, and administrators in the process.
