Global regionalisms and higher education: Projects, processes, politics

Abstract

Global Regionalisms and Higher Education. Projects, Processes, Politics is without a doubt a fundamental tool for higher education (HE) analysts and the general public interested in the transformations HE is undergoing all over the world. This is an ambitious book, notable for having brought together a prestigious group of researchers from different countries and regions, each one in their own way describing diverse changes to HE as a result of globalization, regionalism, and international agreements. The eight pages of acronyms that precede the work are alone an indication of this diversity. The great richness of this collective work lies in providing the reader with a fairly exhaustive overview of the regional processes of transformation of HE in recent years, from which it is possible to take in interesting and rich comparisons, such as diverse mobility programmes for students and teachers, the development of different quality assurance instruments, the introduction of credit systems for students in certain cases, and other aspects.
