Higher Education Institutions simultaneously critique and
participate in national and international rankings of universities.
However, this creates a difficult situation since if universities
do participate in rankings they acquiesce to a system based in
media logics that has little to do with academic norms of research.
If they do not participate in the rankings they risk losing public
funding, students and donors in an increasingly competitive and
globalized environment. This book delves into the influence of
journalists, business tycoons and multinational corporations in
defining what world class is and how it will be measured. Rankings
provide us with a rich study for understanding how universities
define, deploy and manage their assets and liabilities in a
mediatized globalized economy.
