‘Higher Education in a Global Society delves deeply into the compelling challenges
and opportunities facing higher education in cultivating world citizens. An exceptional
range of scholars offers insights providing direction and guidance for colleges ready to
respond to globalization – from institutions crossing borders to creating international
experiences at home, from students studying abroad to international students journeying to
the United States, and from the critical demands on administrators to the vital
contributions of faculty.’
– J. Michael Adams, Fairleigh Dickinson University and International Association of
University Presidents, US
‘Higher Education in a Global Society should be of tremendous practical value to deans
and provosts contemplating an international partnership or program. Written in a most
accessible style by a combination of higher education scholars and veteran academic
administrators, it provides a nuanced understanding of both the pitfalls and unanticipated
benefits from such programs.’
– Charles T. Clotfelter, Duke University, US
‘Preparing students for the 21st century labor force requires exposure to other cultures
and societies. This volume discusses ways to build richer campus experiences for achieving
this requirement. Different chapters explore research connections, international visitors
and students, campuses abroad, study abroad programs, and curriculum changes. By
presenting case studies from different types of institutions, the editors and authors
offer ideas that can be useful throughout higher education.
– Teresa A. Sullivan, President, University of Virginia, US
‘This book is a very positive contribution to the literature on higher education
internationalization. Written from a distinctly US perspective, it examines topics such as
worldwide demographic and educational attainment trends; university R&D investments
abroad and technology transfer issues; the interrelated dynamics of national policies
regarding international education, migration and nation-human capacity building; and
strategies to embed internationalization on campus.’
– Debra W. Stewart, Council of Graduate Schools
Higher education functions in a global environment of consumers, employees,
competitors, and partners. It has been a force for globalization and a model for
adaptation, but nonetheless faces challenges. This volume of essays examines emerging
issues and opportunities for advancing education across borders.
The demands upon and need for higher education have never been greater at both the
individual and societal levels, and the avenues for pursuing the mission of higher
education have greatly expanded due to globalization. This volume examines how
strategically minded institutions can better fulfill their mission in a global environment
while promoting international collaboration and strengthening the world economy. Chapter
authors include prominent senior administrators from higher education and leading
researchers on higher education and globalization. They provide new and actionable
information to enhance decision making and inform strategic planning as well as a
contemporary examination of the business of higher education and areas of potential new
research.
This book is an excellent resource for academic administrators, as well as for researchers
and students in business, management, economics, education, and public sector economics.
