Abstract (2. Language): 
Due to the accelerating developments of globalization, digital information and communication technologies… the nature, mission, and academic identity of higher education have been changed. As a result, a new form of higher education has emerged. That is "transnational higher education (TNHE). However, in addition to the direct influence of info - global advances on TNHE, additional internal factors such as economic and academic concerns are interring the scene, governing consequently with other factors, the goals, processes, resources, and directions which TNHE is apt to pursue. Moreover, TNHE is facing as any forming science, several challenges related to: incongruent missions and / or priorities, problem of accreditation, insufficient resources, inappropriate methods of teaching and learning, mismanagement, lenient governance and regulations, and biased attitudes. To counteract above shortcomings and contributing to the advancement of TNHE , this article is introducing two working principles: inter-independence and collaboration. And then produced two operational mechanisms: the first, a strategic inter-independence collaborative model by which each TNHE partner could achieve its academic and professional needs, and the second, a quality audit / evaluation framework that could help each TNHE institution focusing on achieving its priority goals.
