About this title

Synopsis

This book contains many diverse and varied articles on the role of universities in developing and the post-industrial societies. The themes cover universal versus particular approaches to national systems of higher education as experienced in Malaysia and China; the development role of a university in peripheral regions as diverse as northern universities in training professional administrators and doctors; the potentially destructive and negative role of a university in contemporary urban American as well as Indian societies; and the potential dangerous and beneficial consequences of advances of knowledge and technology.
