With the activation of international exchanges, South Korea is in the transition period from a homogeneous country to a multiracial and multicultural one. As the tertiary industry became a primary industry in the 1990s, South Korea saw local manufacturing and production manpower decrease and accepted foreign workers to solve this problem. In the 2000s, social avoidance of marriage with men in the primary industry led to a drastic increase in the number of international marriages [1]. According to the statistical report made by Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2015, the number of Married immigrants, naturalized person in South Korea is estimated at 304,516, which increased 7.52% compared to in 2012. However, multicultural families in South Korea have lots of problems to solve due to different cultures and living habits compared with general families. Such problems can affect children in

Objectives: This study is the descriptive survey study to research the factors affecting successful aging of the elderly women in rural areas. Methods: The data was collected by using the tools of successful aging, health promoting behavior, depression based on 280 women aged over 65 in 16 centers for senior citizens located in B-district, J-province from June to July 2016, and 273 copies suitable for the study were analyzed. Results: It was analyzed that the successful aging and health promoting behavior showed the significant positive correlation (r = 0.86, p < 0.01), the successful aging and depression (r =-0.74, p < 0.01), and the health promoting behavior and depression (r =-0.67, p < 0.01) showed the significant negative correlation. The factors affecting the successful aging of the elderly women in rural areas were the health promoting behavior (β = 0.24, p < 0.001) and depression (β =-0.20, p < 0.001), and the explanatory power of model was 82.2% (F = 314.27, p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study suggests a need for promoting the health promoting behavior and the structural movements in the local community to mediate the psychological risk factors as depression for the successful aging of the elderly women living in a rural area.

To investigate how the process of peripheralisation usurps internationalisation experiences within the global higher education centres, this article draws on two separate case studies, one conducted in Finland and the other in the UK. In both contexts, Anglophone hegemony plays an important role, but in different manners. In the Finnish case, conflating internationalisation with Englishisation results in both domestic and international students and staff having to continuously grapple with language use in their daily lives. In the UK context, international students in English-speaking universities encounter asymmetric power relations with the locals, which they try to overcome through identity negotiation over digital and physical spaces. Both cases show that creating a liveable international university necessitates structural changes that would build on already existing agentic engagements of international students and staff.

While there is little agreement about the definitions, theories and practices of internationalisation, they have one thing in common. They tend to originate from Europe and North America and primarily serve the interests of Anglo-American academia (Ivancheva and Syndicus 2019; Marginson 2016; Rhoades et al. 2019). These two articles take a different perspective. They look at internationalisation from two kinds of peripheries and consider the strategies that peripheralised countries and people are using to try and create a more balanced or equal relationship between local or national interests and those of universities in Europe and North America. The first article considers internationalisation from peripheral countries in sub-Saharan Africa, China and Indonesia and explores the strategies of regional cooperation, ‘balanced internationalisation’ and marketisation (respectively) that they are adopting to resist marginalisation and dependency. The second article is written from the perspective of international students who are peripheralised within their host university and country in Europe. It explores the dilemmas students encounter when trying to negotiate language politics and the use of social media in order to participate more fully in the university and society.
