Understanding Global Higher Education

This volume brings together selected articles published in <i>University World News</i> (UWN) and <i>International Higher Education</i> (IHE) between 2011 and 2016. Researchers policy makers and practitioners alike further the development of higher education as a field of study through public and ongoing conversations. It is news analysis and commentary publications like UWN and IHE that facilitate this dialogue and keep pace with the most up-to-date developments in the field. Together the articles included in this volume-alongside the section introductions-offer a rich and relevant picture of the dynamic state of higher education globally. While both publications are freely available online this book provides a thematically coherent selection of articles offering an accessible and analytic perspective on the pressing concerns of contemporary higher education.
