Description

Global Perspectives on Higher Education by Philip G. Altbach offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact of globalization on postsecondary education. Over the past half-century, mass higher education and the global knowledge economy have driven significant transformations in academe worldwide. The book explores how these forces interact, with one pushing for wider access and accompanying challenges of quality, while the other prioritizes exclusive research-oriented universities. Altbach examines the implications of globalization, including the use of English as a global language, university cross-border initiatives, and the role of research universities in developing countries. This thought-provoking work considers how international exchange has fundamentally altered higher education, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of postsecondary education in a rapidly changing world.
