Handbook on Corruption in Higher Education
This insightful Handbook provides an overview of corruption within the context of higher education. Through a variety of international case studies, theoretical frameworks and methodologies, it examines the underlying issues involved in corruption as well as the damaging impact on scholarly cultures and the academic enterprise.
Higher Education in the US and Abroad
At the start of the twentieth century, few Americans ever imagined getting a college degree. Less than 5 percent of children made it through high school, and approximately 1 percent of high school graduates enrolled in college. Two-year institutions were still a novelty, and four-year colleges catered to the 1 percent. 1 Those numbers have changed dramatically. We now live in a world where 94 percent of Americans believe some college is “very imp…
Internationalization in higher education
Internationalization as a concept and strategic agenda is a relatively new, broad, and varied phenomenon in tertiary education. During the past half-century, internationalization has evolved from a marginal activity to a key aspect of the reform agenda. This analysis addresses the following points: What are the historical developments of internationalization? What do we mean by internationalization? What are the key factors in international terti…
Responding to Massification
Global Perspectives on Higher Education
The emergence of a field
Higher education as a field of study emerged as universities became complex institutions requiring data and interpretation for effective management and governance. The field expanded in the mid-20th century, and now includes many research and other journals, books, and other reports and publications. Academic departments and centers have been established to produce research and analysis, as well as to train professionals for university management…
The International Imperative in Higher Education
21st century higher education faces immense changesâ from the broad impact of globalization to the implications of massification and the growth of enrollments worldwide. The International Imperative in Higher Education focuses on most of the central elements affecting universities worldwide. Included among the themes analyzed are global issues such as corruption, the continuing impact of the brain drain and the phenomenon of brain exchange, the r…
Reforming Higher Education in the Middle East—and Elsewhere
Among the rallying cries of the youthful revolutionary movements in the Middle East is a demand to reform higher education. The complaints are numerous and well founded. They include political interference at many levels, overcrowded classrooms, an inefficient and unresponsive administration, a decline in quality at all levels, an irrelevant curriculum, underqualified professors, and perhaps most significantly—degrees that do not lead to jobs.
Advancing the national and global knowledge economy
Research universities are a central part of all academic systems. They are the key points of international contact and involvement. Research is produced, disseminated and in many cases imported. For developing countries, the mechanisms for the involvement of research universities in the global knowledge economy is complex, and includes issues of mobility, the use of technology, collaboration, and other elements
The Road to Academic Excellence
For middle-income and developing countries as well as some industrial nations a major challenge for building and sustaining successful research universities is determining the mechanisms that allow those universities to participate effectively in the global knowledge network on an equal basis with the top academic institutions in the world. These research universities provide advanced education for the academic profession, policy makers, and publ…
Trends in Global Higher Education
Today’s academic revolution is unprecedented. Mass higher education has become a worldwide phenomenon, with enrollments growing from 100 million to 150 million in just a decade. The implications of massification are immense—greatly increased participation for a more diverse population including women and many traditionally underrepresented socio-economic groups; the rise of private higher education; diversification of academic institutions and sy…

The Internationalization of Higher Education
Globalization and internationalization are related but not the same thing. Globalization is the context of economic and academic trends that are part of the reality of the 21st century. Internationalization includes the policies and practices undertaken by academic systems and institutions—and even individuals—to cope with the global academic environment. The motivations for internationalization include commercial advantage, knowledge and languag…

Sustaining Change in Universities
The new internationalism
Foreign students and international study are an increasingly important part of the higher education equation. With more than one million students studying outside of their borders worldwide, their influence is felt in many countries. Most foreign students come from the developing nations of the Third World and the main host nations are industrialised. Foreign students carry knowledge from the industrialised nations to the Third World as they cont…

The International Student Movement
Politics has traditionally been a major concern of students. They manifest their concern in student political parties, movements, and organizations on local and national levels. Student political activity arouses national interest when street-cars are overturned, the educational system disrupted, or occasionally, when direct revolutionary action is taken. Governments in Turkey and Korea have been overthrown by students in recent years and Japan, …
Before Berkeley
Student political activism in the United States antedates the Berkeley student revolt of 1964. American stu dents have been involved in political activities almost since the beginnings of higher education in the United States. Student activism in America has, in general, been linked to events in the larger society, and only seldom has been con cerned with the universities. The early political groups were small but provided a political education t…

Problems and possibilities
The US professoriate is a large and differentiated group, numbering some 600,000 in more than 3000 colleges and universities. The profession is organized hierarchically, with scholars at the top 100 research-oriented universities wielding the most influence. Yet, faculty members at liberal arts college, comprehensive universities and the more than 25% of the profession who teach in the 2-year community college sector also constitute important seg…
The Crisis of the Professoriate
The academic profession has been affected by substantial changes in the post-World War II period. The dramatic growth of universities in many nations in terms of enrollments and also of their societal role has placed the professoriate in a central social position. Challenges of expansion, pressures for reform and accountability, the student activism of the sixties, and other factors have endangered the traditional professorial role. Standard norm…

The two Indian Communist Parties
The complex and frustrating problems which any Indian government must face makes the existence of a strong opposition almost inevitable. The fact that the Congress Party has been able to maintain such a strong position is as much due to the divisions and weakness of the opposition as to its own skill. The success of the Congress has been due in a large degree to its ability to take advantage of the caste and linguistic groups which play a key rol…

Student Movements in Historical Perspective
While student movements have only recently become internationally prominent, they have been active political and social forces in many nations for a fairly long period of time. The European nationalist movements of the 19th century had strong student support, and European revolutionary movements, including the German revolutions of 1848 and the Russian revolutionary movements, saw students in instrumental roles. In the developing areas as well st…
