It offers a broad overview of the historical background and current trajectory of the world-class-university construct. It also deepens the theoretical discussion, and points a way forward out of present impasses resulting from the pervasive use and abuse of the notion of "world-class" and related terms in the discourse of quality assessment. The book includes approaches and results from fields of inquiry not otherwise prominent in Higher Education studies, including philosophy and media studies, as well as sociology, anthropology, educational theory. The growing impact of global rankings and their strategic use in the restructuring of higher education systems to increase global competitiveness has led to a ?reputation race? and the emergence of the global discourse of world class universities. The discourse of world class universities has rapid uptake in East Asian countries, with China recently refining its strategy. This book provides insights into this process and its future development. 410 0$aEvaluating Education: Normative Systems and Institutional Practices,$x2570-026X 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aEducational Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy of Education 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aOrganization and Leadership. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aEducational Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Education. 676 $a379 686 $aEDU001000$aEDU015000$aEDU034000$aEDU040000$aSOC026000$2bisacsh 700 $aRider$b Sharon$4edt$01747710 702 $aRider$b Sharon$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPeters$b Michael A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHyvönen$b Mats$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBesley$b Tina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910433221503321 996 $aWorld Class Universities$94179921 997 $aUNINA
