The pursuit to construct world-class universities is an ongoing global obsession across the world, which lays emphasis on the development of competitive higher education and research systems as core national economic approach. The portrayal world-class is more contextual rather than absolute, the expression world-class university has an irrefutable cachet. There is no solo, clear-cut definition of what organises a world-class university (WCU), but there are few common attributes that majority of the experts point towards. The three attributes stated by Philip Altbach and Jamil Salmi that focus on a high concentration of talent, abundant resources and favourable governance have been widely discussed in writings and practice. Both in developing and developed countries, policymakers and higher education leaders are attempting to identify and outline their desires and plans aimed at achieving global ranking for their university/universities. Despite condemnation of the methodology, the choice of indicators and weightings, and the reliability and quality of data used for comparing performance, the obsession for constructing world-class universities has increased over the period of time. But how much do we really discern or comprehend regarding the ranking systems? What do the rankings really measure? Do rankings measure the quality and help in attaining the broad assignment of higher education? Does the competition as outcome of ranking raise standards? Is the ranking system an apposite instrument to frame higher education policies? This edited volume tries to look at the concept of world-class universities in milieu of different countries of the world and explore their experiences either in existing WCUs or constructing WCU or attempting to create WCU. The country-based chapters show differentiated paths of achievements and their approach towards the concept of WCU.

Access, participation and exclusion from higher education for marginalized and disadvan¬taged sections of the population are an intricate socio-political as well as economic practice that has manifold explanations and outcomes. During the last three decades, the higher education has experienced expansion in both enrolments and institutions. The approaches and means of delivery have changed besides the diversification in provision. The role of the state and mar¬ket has also reformed. This characteristic has also altered the nature of equity in higher edu¬cation across the globe. The chapters of this book on different countries of Asia, Europe and Latin America examine access and describe the several spaces where cohorts of relevant age group are included, excluded, or are at threat of exclusion in higher education. The chapters also narrate the state of affairs in which despite numerous alike structure in the experience and outcomes of social exclusion across disenfranchised groups and regions, how some critical differences have led to different paths of struggles and policy formation to attain the objective of equity in higher education.

Quality assurance in a small HE system: is the Icelandic system in some ways special?/Anna Olafsdottir and Jon Torfi Jonasson. The significant growth of number of students enrolled in tertiary education institutions in the recent past decades has caused an unprecedented expansion of higher education systems. The rapid and constant social, economic and technological mutations and international competition make the importance of qualitatively well-educated citizenry and labor forces very decisive. Globalization has developed a powerful impact on the development of higher education and imposes new challenges for the organization (standards, financing, regulations). Systems of higher education tend to detach from the national models and adopt a more global orientation. The implementation of quality assurance is one of the recent and most decisive transformations of higher education. Different higher education systems are trying to develop assessment tools (internal and external) to improve the quality of teaching, research and extension activities, and these are either based on experiences of selected countries or are extensively country specific. The quality assurance procedures that were often dependent on national directorial traditions have gradually tended to converge and led to a setup of common tools and standards. Countries under a centralized system tend to impose a uniform and general model while decentralized systems give greater freedom to universities to set up their own quality. International rankings of universities also contribute to impose a set of transnational standards and values, which is also being considered as indicative by the stakeholders. The present book tries to look at the quality assurance mechanism, international rankings and its impact in both absolute and comparative fashion in context of about 11 countries from different parts of the world.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The merger is broadly understood as a fusion of two or more units into one. The merger in higher education has received much attention by policy-makers as well as individual institutions in many countries as a means to bring higher education reforms. The merger of higher education institutions is a visible phenomenon in the recent past, but each merger provides a distinctive instance of major strategic change. Besides this, each merger also shows a distinct set of circumstances, actors, and characteristics. The aims of the mergers have been varied across the nations that include a reduction in fragmentation of institutions, economies of scale, enhanced efficiency, enhanced quality etc. Along with disapproval, a great amount of literature surrounding the benefits of the merger has emerged over the period of time. In spite of ample literature on mergers of higher education institutions, there does not appear to be a clear set of financial, efficiency or quality parameters to assess the success. The majority of the discussions have been narratives. In the available literature, the mergers have been classified based on their participants, stakeholders, nature, the strategy that drives them, their motivation, and/or the resultant degree of absorption. This book discusses the merger experiences and case study of different countries in terms of policies and practices. Each country chapter in the above context narrates that in planning the mergers, what have been the philosophical, economic, political, legal and cultural implications? How the factors such as institutional history, geographical distance, provincial tradition, state regulations, the presence of collective bargaining, and pertinent financial matters shaped the process as well as the outcome of the mergers? The idea of merger and its implementation (including process) at both government and institutional level have been discussed. The outcome assessment also forms the part of the discussion.
