Softcover. Condition: As New. Originalverpackt. The world of tertiary education has changed significantly in the past fifteen years. Developing countries have seen tremendous enrollment growth, especially in the private sector. Many nations are facing an exponentially rising demand as more young people graduate from high school as a result of the successful implementation of the Education for All agenda. The launch of the Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations in September 2015 has given renewed consideration to the importance of education for development and the urgency of putting in place viable financing strategies. Against this background this book explores the crucial role played by tertiary education towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It observes that tertiary education finds itself at a crossroad today, as national systems are pulled in several directions by a combination of factors--crisis factors, rupture factors, and stimulation factors--bringing about both opportunities and challenges. How these forces in the tertiary education ecosystem play out in each country will determine the new "perils" and "promises" that are likely to shape the contribution of tertiary education to economic and social development in the years to come.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A pioneering collection of case studies on the global phenomenon of academic excellence initiatives and how they shape the performance of research universities.A pioneering collection of case studies on the global phenomenon of academic excellence initiatives and how they shape the performance of research universities.Academic excellence initiatives (AEIs)-special government-sponsored programs to improve research universities-have provided billions of dollars to top universities and represent perhaps the most significant effort in the past half-century to jumpstart academic research. The contributors to Academic Star Wars, superbly edited by Maria Yudkevich, Philip G. Altbach, and Jamil Salmi, analyze AEIs in nine European and Asian countries, including China, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Denmark, France, Germany, and Russia, and offer penetrating insights into the successes and problems of these initiatives, as well as into the broader system of higher education itself.Academic Star Wars provides a comprehensive analysis of AEIs across the globe as it seeks to understand the impact of these programs on national higher ed systems. The contributors explore a host of topics, including how the idea of excellence varies across national systems; the lessons to be drawn from the most successful AEIs; the consequences of AEIs, both intended and unintended, for participating universities; and whether AEIs ensure a significant impact on the global standing of national higher education systems. Finally, the contributors offer policy recommendations for national decision-makers and university leaders, taking into account the variety of initial conditions of national higher education systems and the differences in AEI design, scope, and funding. "This book collects case studies on academic excellence initiatives in nine countries, and provide an analysis of how these initiatives shape higher education within national and international systems. This book updates and expands Altbach & Salmi's 2011 work on AEIs and the political economy of higher education"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
