Trajectories within international academic mobility
With an ever-growing number of students and academics in physical or virtual circulation around the world, issues related to academic mobility have taken centre stage in interpretations of the internationalisation of higher education. This mobility and its implications have been approached from multiple perspectives, from host and home countries’ internationalisation strategies to individual experiences or the formation of transnational knowledge…
Preschool strategies among the Saudi middle classes
Parental choices in non-compulsory pre – primary education are typically analysed in relation to dispositions influenced by class-related cultural capital. In Saudi Arabia, where early childhood education is yet to be fully institutionalised, other local socio-cultural dynamics enter in the formulation and approval of choice. This article focuses on choices and their justification expressed by a group of mothers from the wealthy Saudi middle clas…
Forms of embeddedness and discourses of engagement
The paper explores two universities' strategies of impact and engagement and their perceptions by local economic and policy stakeholders in a post-industrial city of Scotland. The concept of structural embeddedness is used to unpack the logics and repertoires of action of local universities and to relate discourses and actions to the nature and intensity of the relationship between universities and the local context. In contrast with the dominant…

The student experience and subject engagement in UK sociology
This article is a contribution to the sociology of an expanded and newly diversified UK higher education system. How differentiated is the student experience? How sharply is the system polarised? Drawing on interviews and questionnaires conducted in five sociology departments in a variety of pre‐1992 and post‐1992 universities, it examines students' views on ‘what they learn’ and their orientations to study. It explores differences in curriculum …
From 'crisis' to 'transformation'? Shifting orthodoxies of African higher education policy and research
After years of neglect, there is renewed international interest in higher education in sub-Saharan Africa. Comparative projects have been launched on a continental scale, looking at the socio-economic relevance of higher education, often with the aim of reviving failing institutions. A new 'transformation' policy paradigm has replaced a previously dominant rhetoric of 'crisis'. Promoted by the major funders, this discourse has been adopted by man…
Universities and social transformation in sub‐Saharan Africa
This paper's principal purpose is to explore the range of ways in which African universities act as public institutions – i.e. how they both are shaped by and influence the social, political and economic contexts in which they are situated. In particular, it considers the multiple dimensions, often resulting in tensions in contexts of poverty, instability and radical transformation, of African universities as actors in politics, civil society and…
Les universités, espaces de médiation du global au local
Les reformes en cours des systemes d’enseignement superieur tendent, du Nord au Sud, a presenter une coloration similaire. Il n’est pas un pays ou ne soit posee aujourd’hui la question de la “transformation” de l’universite ou de l’enseignement superieur. Un certain nombre de similarites sont observees dans ces processus de reforme qui laissent a penser qu’une sorte d’agenda global les stimule, et le regard se tourne alors immanquablement vers le…
Les restructurations de la formation supérieure en Grande-Bretagne
In Great Britain, changes to the nature and shape of short-cycle, workrelated higher education are being introduced within the context of an expanding higher education system. As is often the case, government justifies these changes in terms of meeting the needs of the economy. At a time when the first cohort of graduates from the (newly-introduced) Foundation Degree (broadly equivalent to a Bac+2) is entering the labour market, the authors consi…
Cooper, David & Subotzky, George. – The Skewed Revolution. Trends in South African Higher Education
La contribution attendue de l’enseignement supérieur à la transformation de l’Afrique du Sud post-apartheid a fait l’objet d’un nombre considérable de publications. De même, la restructuration du système d’enseignement supérieur dans la foulée du changement politique se trouve au centre d’un large débat et de multiples réformes. Les enjeux de celles-ci dépassent largement les frontières de l’Afrique du Sud, qui constitue à bien des égards un labo…

Extraversion Strategies within a Peripheral Research Community
Labelled 'giant of Africa'in the 1970s on account of its promising human and natural resources, Nigeria entered in the early 1980s in an unprecedented period of recession following the domination of corruption over government operations, the fall of the oil market price and the introduction of a structural adjustment programme in 1986. Despite its potential wealth, Nigeria is ranked today as part of the world 's thirty least developed countries. …
À propos de l'ouvrage de
Tire d’une etude financee par la cooperation britannique (DFID) sur le role de l’education dans la competition economique au Ghana, au Kenya et en Afrique du Sud, l’ouvrage s’inscrit dans la perspective optimiste d’une renaissance economique du continent africain sur laquelle peserait cependant un ensemble de nouvelles contraintes issues de la globalisation. Les auteurs considerent en particulier que « la competitivite sera de plus en plus basee …
Classement et déclassement des universités au Nigeria
Partant d’une critique des lectures comparatives et continentales des transformations en cours des systèmes d’enseignement supérieur en Afrique, cet article tente de restituer la situation actuelle des universités du Nigeria dans une trajectoire historique nationale spécifique. En particulier, il s’intéresse à la genèse des tensions observées entre une demande sociale diverse et un système d’enseignement supérieur uniforme depuis les années soixa…
Nigeria during the Abacha Years (1993-1998)
The autocratic regime of Sani Abacha (1993-1998) stands out as a watershed in the history of independent Nigeria. Nigeria’s darkest years since the civil war resulted from his unrestrained personal rule; very close to the features associated with warlordism. Nepotism, corruption, violation of human rights, procrastination over the implementation of a democratic transition, and the exploitation of ethnic, cultural or religious identities, also res…
The Dilemma of Post-Colonial Universities
The papers in this volume were presented at a conference organized by the Institut Français de Recherche en Afrique (IFRA) at the University of Ibadan on the 26th and 27th of October 1998, as part of the 50 anniversary celebrations of the University. This conference brought together scholars from anglophone and francophone countries who have been collaborating on a research programme which is concerned with elite formation and the restructuring o…
Permissivité et violence sur les campus nigérians
Les campus nigérians connaissent actuellement une recrudescence des violences sous la conduite des sociétés secrètes qui se comportent comme de véritables gangs mafieux. Certains voient dans ce phénomène une dégénérescence des anciennes confraternités étudiantes ; d'autres, un reflet de la criminalisation de l'État. Cet article avance plutôt l'hypothèse que les « secret cults » traduisent une dérégulation de la gestion des campus et remplissent u…
The Daughters of Evil ! Images de l'étudiante sur les campus nigérians
La population étudiante nigériane compte aujourd'hui 27 % de filles. D'origine sociale globalement plus élevée que leurs homologues masculins, les étudiantes entretiennent avec ces derniers des relations complexes, analysées ici au travers de leurs échanges dans la presse étudiante et lors de manifestations sur les campus. Les critiques parfois acerbes qui émaillent ces échanges, témoignent sans aucun doute des contradictions, repérées ailleurs e…
