The International Imperative in Higher Education focuses on most of the central elements affecting universities worldwide. Included among the themes analyzed are global issues such as corruption, the continuing impact of the brain drain and the phenomenon of brain exchange, the role of English in internationalization, changes in the environment for publishing and knowledge distribution, and academic freedom. The specific elements of internationalization, such as growing commercialization, and the role of agents and recruiters as a part of global student flows are considered. The role of the academic profession in a rapidly changing university environment is also discussed. Special attention is paid to China and India, the world?s two largest academic systems, and the specific challenges faced by them. This book consists of 40 concise essays analyzing key aspects of global higher education. They bring together broad analysis and an underlying concern for the public good aspects of higher education in a comparative and international framework. 410 0$aGlobal perspectives on higher education ;$vv. 27. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives 606 $aEducation, Higher$zDeveloping countries 606 $aComparative education 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives. 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 0$aComparative education. 676 $a378.01 700 $aAltbach$b Philip G$0892627 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438233603321 996 $aThe international imperative in higher education$92474709 997 $aUNINA
