The internationalization of higher education has become a defining strategic imperative for universities worldwide. This article presents a comparative analysis of internationalization trajectories in two geographically and historically distinct contexts: Uzbekistan, a rapidly reforming Central Asian state, and Latvia, a European Union member with a post-Soviet transformation experience. Drawing on institutional theory, resource-based view (RBV), and dynamic capabilities frameworks, the study examines policy architectures, institutional strategies, and structural barriers that shape the international positioning of universities in both countries. The findings reveal that while both nations demonstrate a strong political commitment to higher education reform and internationalization, they differ significantly in their integration into global academic networks, capacity for education export, and the maturity of quality assurance mechanisms. The article proposes a convergent strategic model applicable to transitional and post-transitional higher education systems seeking sustainable internationalization.
