'Between the ever-open possibilities of the global space, and the
nation-state with its still seemingly irreducible hold on territory
and imagination, lies the region. In higher education there are
many kinds of region. This is by far the best book on regional
developments, and one of the first two or three books we must now
turn to in order to understand global higher education-it provides
an invaluable geo-spatial lens that complements analyses based on
political economy and culture.' - Simon Marginson, ESRC/HEFCE
Centre for Global Higher Education and University College London,
UK This original book provides a unique analysis of the different
regional and inter-regional projects, their processes and the
politics of Europeanisation, globalisation and education.
Collectively, the contributors engage with a range of theories on
regionalising to explore new ways of thinking about regionalisms
and inter-regionalisms with a focus on the higher education sector.
It makes the compelling case that globally, higher education is
being transformed by regionalizing and inter-regionalizing projects
aimed at resolving ongoing economic, political and cultural
challenges within and beyond national territorial states. The
chapters range over a wide geography of regional projects and their
unique politics - from Europe to Latin America, Africa, Asia,
Europe, the Gulf, and the Barent region. Collectively they reveal
the diverse, uneven, and variegated nature of global regionalisms
in higher education. Comprehensive and theoretically informed, this
unique book will appeal to academics and postgraduate students, in
addition to policymakers and administrators involved in higher
education. Contributors include: T. Aljafari, N. Azman, A.A. Bakar,
R.Y. Chao Jr., J.-E. Charlier, S. Croche, R. Dale, Q.A. Dang, L.A.
Gandin, T.D. Jules, S. Melo, P. Motter, T. Muhr, M.L. Neves de

Most books that analyse the crucial subject of globalisation only look at it from a western perspective. This is the first detailed study to look at globalisation specifically in the Asia-Pacific region. An impressive collection of leading, interdisciplinary scholars explore various dimensions of globalisation, and their relationship to development processes in the region.
