Our role in promoting human, economic, and cultural development for these more "local" venues would fall short were we not to advance these ends within the global perspectives that impact so much of life today.
前一句话是 For most universities, fulfilling their responsibilities to their immediate communities to their states or regions, and to their nations, requires substantial internationalization.

ends指promoting human, economic, and cultural development.
如果我们不从当今对生活有很大影响的全球角度来着手的话,那我们在推进这些富有地方特色的区域的人文、经济和文化发展方面的作用就不会得到充分发挥。
加上前一句话,意思仍不变.

哇，好厉害看完你的解答，当堂茅塞顿开，谢谢^ ^
