This insightful book offers forward-looking conceptual tools and a practice-oriented guide for navigating rapid change in higher education amid accelerating technological, economic, and social transformation. Drawing on global expertise in organisation and management studies, leading scholars interweave conceptual frameworks with international case studies to deliver actionable strategies for building institutional resilience, driving innovation, and promoting sustainable development in higher education.Contributors examine the evolving landscape of global higher education institutions as they respond to increasingly complex and interdependent challenges. Focusing on four core areas—resources, institutions, resilience, and identity—the chapters demonstrate how robust organisational and management theories can inform governance, leadership, and strategic adaptation across universities. The contributors also call for future research in diverse cultural and institutional contexts, offering principles for theory-building and a roadmap for refining and advancing organisational studies in higher education.An indispensable resource for students and scholars in education policy, management, organisational theory, and development studies, this book is equally valuable for policymakers, university administrators, and institutional leaders seeking research-informed strategies for transformative change.

This book explores the multifaceted roles of universities in driving green transitions, with a particular emphasis on the teaching and learning missions alongside third mission roles. It argues that universities are uniquely positioned to address urgent sustainability challenges, such as climate change and resource depletion, but that key barriers – structural and cultural – remain.International in scope, this book demonstrates how universities are proactively shaping green transitions by endorsing sustainability competencies, engaging with local and global challenges, and innovating research and community partnerships. Looking beyond the curriculum, contributing authors highlight non-academic approaches to fostering green transitions, including the importance of socialization, strategy and strategic partnerships, and societal engagement on a systemic level. They outline crucial challenges and dilemmas across diverse case studies with a particular focus on Asia and the Global South, proposing novel solutions and future pathways for policy, practice, and research.Higher Education and Green Transitions is a valuable resource for scholars and students of public policy and management studies. It is also beneficial to university administrators and academic leaders tasked with designing university-wide initiatives on green transitions.

International cooperation in higher education is not new, but gained new urgency in recent years with the expansion of the knowledge economy, the easy flow of communications and the emulation created by international rankings. In the European Union’s countries, international competition and the process of political and economic unification required national higher education institutions to give priority to international cooperation, while large countries such as Russia, China, Brazil and South Africa intensified their effort to modernise their institutions and link them to the international flow of science, technology and talent, leading similar trends in other countries in their regions. These global trends are shaped by the national culture and institutions of each country, and the existing national and international cooperation policies and instruments on all sides. In Building Higher Education Cooperation with the EU: Challenges and Opportunities from Four Continents, the authors look at how these interactions occur from the perspectives of the European Union and the countries involved and make recommendations on policies that could make international cooperation more fluid and beneficial to all parties involved.
