Higher education has entered center-stage in the context of the
knowledge economy and has been deployed in the search for economic
competitiveness and social development. Against this backdrop, this
highly illuminating Handbook explores worldwide convergences and
divergences in national higher education systems resulting from
increased global co-operation and competition. The expert
contributors reveal the strategies, practices and governance
mechanisms developed by international and regional organizations,
national governments and by higher education institutions
themselves. They analyze local responses to dominant global
templates of higher education and the consequences for knowledge
generation, social equity, economic development and the public
good. This comprehensive and accessible Handbook will prove an
invaluable reference tool for researchers, academics and students
with an interest in higher education from economics, international
studies and public policy perspectives, as well as for higher
education policy makers, and funding and governance bodies.
