Handbook on Globalization and Higher Education

With 29 well-researched articles written by 31 erudite scholars of high repute drawn from various parts of the world, specifically for the book, the Handbook filled with intellectual ammunition provides an excellent reading on a multiplicity of issues relating to globalisation and higher education. The volume provides diversity of interpretation of several trends. Unlike many other books, the issues are studied not just from the point of view of a few advanced countries; the Handbook includes experiences of many developing countries. . . The Handbook would certainly be a great resource material for students, teachers and policy makers engaged in higher education. -- Jandhyala B.G. Tilak, Journal of Educational Planning and Administration . . . the Handbook constitutes an essential reference source for everyone interested in studying the current meaning, scope and implications of globalization. Strongly recommended. -- Higher Education Review
