Drawing on policy documents, media narratives, interviews, and personal experiences, Elizabeth Buckner explores how apolitical external reform models become contested and modified by local actors in ways that are simultaneously complicated, surprising, and even inspiring. Degrees of Dignity documents how the global discourses of neoliberalism have legitimized specific policy models for higher education reform in the Arab world, including quality assurance, privatization, and internationalization. Through a multi-level and comparative analysis, this book examines how policy models are implemented, with often complex results, in countries throughout the region. Ultimately, Degrees of Dignity calls on the field of higher education development to rethink current approaches to higher education reform: rather than viewing the Arab world as a site for intervention, it argues that the Arab world can act as a source for insight on resilient higher education systems. 606 $aArabs$xEducation (Higher) 606 $aEducation, Higher$zArab countries 606 $aHigher education and state$zArab countries 606 $aEDUCATION / Higher$2bisacsh 607 $aArab countries$2fast 610 $aArab higher education. 610 $aMiddle East. 610 $aNational university. 610 $aNorth Africa. 610 $ahigher education in North Africa. 610 $ahigher education in the Middle East. 610 $aprivate university. 615 0$aArabs$xEducation (Higher). 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 0$aHigher education and state 615 7$aEDUCATION / Higher. 676 $a379.1/2140956 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aBuckner$b Elizabeth, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01222528 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585556403321 996 $aDegrees of Dignity$92835452 997 $aUNINA
