During the 1980s, most European countries underwent substantial changes in their economic and educational systems. During the period it became clear that the discussions were going to be centered around the rapid changes being experienced by the higher education systems in practically all the countries of the region in their attempts to adapt themselves to new socio-economic conditions. In particular, much stress was given to the need to arrive at a clearer understanding of the diversification processes which were currently taking place in various higher education systems and of the combinations of factors which lead to such diversification. This book aims to discuss the features, the causes, and the national experiences of the ongoing processes of adaptation of higher education to changing societal needs and diversification of processes that were exerting similar influences on different national systems of higher education in European countries. ; UNESCO European Centre for Higher Education

This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the critical dimensions of higher education in India. It focuses on the growth and expansion of private higher education and public policy. The volume discusses issues related to the growth of for-profit and not-for-profit private higher education institutions and their implications at the policy level. It outlines the role of such institutions towards the internationalization and global ranking of the Indian higher education system. The book discusses the trends in internationalisation adopted by private higher education institutions and explains the resulting impact on aspects such as the diversity of programs, skill formation, employability, pedagogic practices, standards, curriculum development, and research and development, as well as the wider externalities in terms of promoting India's soft power and international relations with other countries. While outlining the challenges of Open Distance Learning (ODL) and online education in India, the book also discusses the use of ICT, OER, and MOOCS among others to address the challenges of the ODL system. This volume will be of interest to teachers, students, and researchers of education, public policy, political science, international relations, law, sociology, economics, and political economy. It will also be useful for academicians, policymakers, and anyone interested in the internationalization of Indian Higher Education.

Teaching Why We Fight to high schoolers My students love the book. One thing that jumps out is how clearly Blattman writes. For high school students who are encountering a big topic for the first time, clarity is incredibly important. The book really speaks to a wide audience. —Matt Cone, Carrboro High School, Carrboro, North […]
