Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the forces of globalization that affect higher education in Ukraine. The objectives of the paper are to systematically collect, document, study and critically analyze the relationship between the representatives of this issue in the literature, to identify and position our own ideas and observations for further research in this area. The results of the study show that the impact of globalization on higher education in Ukraine is directly related to Americanization, Europeanization, homogenization through diversification, Westernization etc. in the related literature. The paper takes into account the correlation between the opinions and scientific narrative of experts on the vision of higher education as a global priority, as well as transformations that cannot be avoided by higher education in the 21st century. It can be concluded that changes in education in Ukraine should cover all dimensions and forms of education. These processes, in turn, stimulate the transition from specific approaches to global, interdisciplinary approaches that allow us to explore social problems that require specific solutions: peace, democracy, social justice, cultural development, environmental protection, food, health, protection of children and youth, promotion of education and research.
