This is a study of higher education in the world's four largest
developing economies--Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Already
important players globally, by mid-century, they are likely to be
economic powerhouses. But whether they reach that level of
development will depend in part on how successfully they create
quality higher education that puts their labor forces at the
cutting edge of the information society.
Using an empirical, comparative approach, this book develops a
broad picture of the higher education system in each country in the
context of both global and local forces. The authors offer insights
into how differing socioeconomic and historic patterns of change
and political contexts influence developments in higher education.
In asking why each state takes the approach that it does, this work
situates a discussion of university expansion and quality in the
context of governments' educational policies and reflects on the
larger struggles over social goals and the distribution of national
resources.
