The book also publishes a series of empirically-based papers which together display the multi-faceted and far-sighted scope of his theoretical framework, and its fecundity for fine-grained, detailed empirical investigations on universities and development in Africa. Castells, in his afterword to this book, always looking forward, assesses the role of the university in the wake of the upheavals to the global economic order. He decides the university's function not only remains, but is more important than ever. This book will serve as an introduction to the relevance of his work for higher education in Africa for postgraduate students, reflective practitioners and researchers. Includes two previously unpublished public lectures and an Afterword by Manuel Castells. 606 $aEducation, Higher$zAfrica 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 0$aUniversities and colleges 676 $a378.6 700 $aCastells$b Manuel$f1942-$033899 702 $aVan Schalkwyk$b Franc?ois 702 $aCloete$b Nico 702 $aMuller$b Johan 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910384514603321 996 $aCastells in Africa$92125998 997 $aUNINA
