Higher education is often considered a local affair. Yet in
reality it is a grand, worldwide enterprise. Here is the first
effort to describe higher education on a global scale, mapping the
rapidly growing field of higher education on both a national and
international level by examining programs, training centers, and
publications. Examined are the programs and centers focused on
training for administrative and other professional university
positions, as well as research centers studying higher education. A
substantive essay assesses the state of higher education research
worldwide.
One hundred eighty-seven centers in thirty-three countries are
inventoried with information concerning the foci, programs, staff,
and resources listed for each. A comprehensive listing of higher
education journals is included. This book is unquestionably the
most comprehensive resource available concerning research and
training in the field of higher education, making it valuable to
scholars and practitioners alike.
