Higher Education operates in an increasingly global context, and
yet the examination of what drives and moves the field has remained
largely focused on domestic campus leaders, national governments
and institutional actors. International Organizations and Higher
Education Policy expands the analysis to include the global drivers
behind higher education policy, including a full array of
influential organizations such as the World Bank, UNESCO, OECD,
WTO, bilateral aid agencies and major private foundations. The
significance of these organizations is especially pronounced in the
developing world, where the expansion of higher education is
happening in conjunction with the broadening influence of
globalization.
International Organizations and Higher Education Policy
critically analyses the impact that these influential organizations
have at different levels of policy development and implementation
around the world. It examines their role in higher education
institutions, examines the strength of these relationships, and
exposes both the positive and negative implications.
This edited volume is composed of scholars and members of these
organizations from around the world. They address:
- How international organizations represent the interests of the
developed world and subsequently have an impact on the developing
world.
- How these organizations drive and shape the global agenda for
higher education
- How higher education as an international industry is subject to
a myriad of influences, from the international to the regional
level
- What ethical issues emerge when international organizations
intervene in national policy-making processes.
