Discussions on globalization now routinely focus on the economic
impact of developing countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East,
the former Soviet Union and Latin America. Only twenty-five years
ago, many developing countries were largely closed societies.
Today, the growing power of "emerging markets" is reordering the
geopolitical landscape. On a purchasing power parity basis,
emerging economies now constitute half of the world's economic
activity. Financial markets too are seeing growing integration:
Asia now accounts for 1/3 of world stock markets, more than double
that of just 15 years ago. Given current trajectories, most
economists predict that China and India alone will account for half
of global output by 2050 (almost a complete return to their
positions prior to the Industrial Revolution). How is higher
education shaping and being shaped by these massive tectonic
shifts? As education rises as a geopolitical priority, it has
converged with discussions on economic policy and a global labor
market. As part of the Routledge Studies in Emerging Societies
series, this edited collection focuses on the globalization of
higher education, particularly the increasing symbiosis between
advanced and developing countries. Bringing together senior
scholars, journalists, and practitioners from around the world,
this collection explores the relatively new and changing higher
education landscape.
