It offers fresh insights into the actual meaning of ?private? in different higher education contexts, contributing to a deeper understanding of the actual effects of global policies in local contexts through ethnographies. This book explores how private universities were established, their context and history, and their changing business models and operations. The strengths of this book are its ethnographic detail, which shows the complexity and fast changing forms of private higher education, and its reluctance to jump to simplified labelling of public and private. It is a model for further ethnographic studies of local developments in higher education. Contributors are: Ayça Alemdaro?lu, Daniele Cantini, Carmela Chávez Irigoyen, Enrico Ille, Sylvie Mazzella, Alexander Mitterle, Annemarie Profanter, and Susan Wright. 410 0$aStudies in critical social sciences ;$vVolume 101. 606 $aPrivate universities and colleges$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPrivate universities and colleges 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects 676 $a378.04 702 $aCantini$b Daniele 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465904503321 996 $aRethinking private higher education$92064280 997 $aUNINA
