Abstract	"Internationalization" is the current key word for a large range of reform efforts in higher education in Germany, whereby the terms "globalization" and "Europeanization" are used frequently; as well to depict similar themes with a somewhat different thrust. First, international mobility and cooperation grew from a marginal and unsystematic area to a mainstream activity in institutions of higher education in Germany, whereby the European temporary student mobility programme ERASMUS, established in 1987, had been a driving force. Second, reforms of system steering and institutional management have been advocated since the 1990s as necessary in order to make German higher education fit into the increasing international or global competition between universities. Thirdly, a campaign started in the late 1990s to undertake the active marketing of German institutions of higher education in order to attract students from other parts of the world, and to mobilize German institutions of higher education to get involved in trans-national education. Fourthly, German higher education, along with higher education systems in other European countries in the framework of the so-called "Bologna Process", is actively involved in transforming the traditional study and degree programmes into bachelor and master programmes; these structural and curricular reforms are expected both to resolve national problems with regard to reducing study periods and creating a closer match between higher education and employment, as well as being relevant internationally: to facilitate student mobility within Europe and to make higher education in continental European countries more attractive for students from other parts of the world. The aim of the article is to take stock of the major trends and the accompanying debates in Germany: How do the views of Europeanization, internationalization and globalization change? The analysis suggests that debates change their focus quickly while the complexity of internationally-oriented activities grows without priorities as clear as the public debate suggests.
