Technical Appendix. 330 $a?Critique of global hierarchies along with aspirations to decolonize knowledge have increased significantly in Western academia over recent decades. And yet this critique has hardly upset the global hierarchies that it has decried. In this book, Márton Demeter opens the closet to expose the skeleton of a production of academic knowledge that remains heavily determined by its location in the Global North.? ?Professor Gilbert Achcar, SOAS University of London, UK "Can the subaltern speak in communication studies? This is a deceptively simple question and, although recent arguments for the de-Westernization of communication studies take the answer for granted, Demeter?s elegantly theorized and empirically detailed analysis shows that the reality is more complex than we thought. Scholars and institutions truly committed to the internationalization of knowledge will find this book to be an indispensable guide to fully understanding the challenges and crafting solutions. I enjoyed reading the book and I hope that it gets the wide attention it deserves. ?Professor Larry Gross, University of Southern California, USA This book investigates and critically interprets the underrepresentation of the global South in global knowledge production. The author analyses the serious bias towards scholars and institutions from this region: he argues that this phenomenon causes serious disadvantages not only for authors and institutions, but global science as well by impeding the flow of fresh, innovative scholarship. This book uses a combination of field theory and world-systems analysis to explain the motives and dynamics behind the geopolitical and societal inequalities in the system of global knowledge production. Subsequently, the author offers several solutions by which these inequalities could be reduced, or even eliminated. This book will be of interest and value to scholars of knowledge inequalities, and knowledge production in theglobal South. Márton Demeter is Associate Professor at the National University of Public Services, Hungary, and a Bolyai Research Fellow at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. His works have been widely published in leading periodicals such as International Journal of Communication and Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly. 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aEducation Policy 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aEducation Policy. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 676 $a658.4038 676 $a370 700 $aDemeter$b M.
