Abstract
This chapter addresses the internationalization process from the standpoint of international accreditations. More precisely, it explores whether in Slovenia their implementation is affected primarily by globalization or regionalization of (quality assurance in) higher education. Initially, it discusses globalization and regionalization from the standpoint of internationalization and Europeanization of higher education. Then, it overviews the main international (professional) accreditors, which are relevant for Slovenian higher education (institutions). In the continuation, it outlines the internationalization of Slovenian quality assurance system at the national level, whilst afterwards, it concentrates in more detail on the analysis of institutional (internationalization) strategies and official websites of Slovenian higher education institutions with respect to international accreditations. In conclusion, it highlights that having more international accreditations does not necessarily mean more internationalization of (Slovenian) higher education.
