Higher education and innovation policies are today seen as central
elements in national economic competitiveness, increasingly
measured by global rankings. The book analyses the evolution of
indicator-based global knowledge governance, where various national
attributes have been evaluated under international comparative
assessment. Reflecting this general trend, the Shanghai ranking,
first published in 2003, has pressured governments and universities
all over the world to improve their performance in global
competition. More recently, as global rankings have met criticism
for their methodology and scope, measurements of various sizes and
shapes have proliferated: some celebrating novel methodological
solutions, others breaking new conceptual grounds. This book takes
a fresh look at developments in the field of knowledge governance
by showing how emerging indicators, innovation indexes and
subnational comparisons are woven into the existing fabric of
measurements that govern our ideas of higher education, innovation
and competitiveness. This book argues that while rankings are
becoming more numerous and fragmented, the new knowledge products,
nevertheless, tend to reproduce ideas and practices existing in the
field of global measurement.
