Universities are under increasing pressure to help promote
socio-economic growth in their local communities. However until
now, no systematic, critical attention has been paid to the factors
and mechanisms that currently make this process so daunting. In
Universities and Regional Development, scholars from Europe, the
Americas, Africa, and Asia critically address this knowledge gap,
focusing on policy, organization, and the role of individual actors
to uncover the challenges facing higher education institutions as
they seek to engage with their regions.
In a systematic and comparative manner, this book shows internal
and external audiences why, how, and when the institutionalization
of universities "third missions" should take place, and also:
- challenges conventional wisdom about the role of universities
in society and the economy
- demonstrates how institutions in different nations and regions
cope with local engagement
- combines the latest national, regional and local research with
international perspectives
- integrates diverse conceptual and disciplinary frameworks
Universities and Regional Development is a key resource for
researchers and students of higher education and territorial
development, educational policy makers, and university managers
seeking to engage with the world beyond their university.
