مستخلص: After World War II, a new world order emerged. Its most powerful symbol was the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights," which celebrated the virtues of democracy, openness and internationalism. Some countries resisted these values for several decades, but by the end of the 20th century, with the Berlin Wall in ruins and apartheid a bad memory, they were more deeply embedded than ever. International higher education flourished. Today this consensus is breaking down. Not only are nationalist and populist movements gaining support, but the very foundations of higher education are being undermined in what is being called the "post-truth" and "post-trust" era. Expert knowledge is at a discount, "elite" is a pejorative term and trust in institutions is eroding. This "Brief" examines some of the challenges that these changing political attitudes pose for international education and accreditation, notably to the freedom of higher education institutions (HEIs) to operate across borders and their ability to recruit students and staff from across the world. We explore different manifestations of these challenges through three examples.
