But there are signs that America's position of global leadership will face challenges in the future, as it has in other realms of international competition. American Universities in a Global Market addresses the variety of issues crucial to understanding this preeminence and this challenge. The book examines the various factors that contributed to America's success in higher education, including openness to people and ideas, generous governmental support, and a tradition of decentralized friendly competition. It also explores the advantages of holding a dominant position in this marketplace and examines the current state of American higher education in a comparative context, placing particular emphasis on how market forces affect universities. By discussing the differences in quality among students and institutions around the world, this volume sheds light on the singular aspects of American higher education. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aEducation, Higher$zUnited States 606 $aEducation and globalization 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zUnited States 606 $aCompetition, International 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 0$aEducation and globalization. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges 615 0$aCompetition, International. 676 $a378.73 701 $aClotfelter$b Charles T$0140636 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459454403321 996 $aAmerican universities in a global market$92188659 997 $aUNINA
