less-researched aspect has been its impact on higher education. It is no
coincidence that rising formal education has paralleled the expansion of the
global economy. World supply chains have become increasingly dependent on
communication technologies and skilled labor. As wealth has spread globally,
more people have begun enrolling in colleges and universities than ever
before, with record numbers crossing borders to study abroad. In advanced
countries, universities are devising global strategies to attract foreign
students and expand their reach. This includes overseas campuses,
joint-venture partnerships and cross-border online education. In developing
countries, policymakers are racing to produce world-class institutions to
increase economic competitiveness. China and India, in particular, are
strongly investing in education: Asia is already producing twice as many
engineers as America and Europe together. The paradox of the economic boom
in many industrializing countries, however, is that it has benefited a
super-elite most of all. In the last few decades, many of the most classless
societies in the global South have become increasingly polarized between the
world's richest and poorest citizens. As part of the Routledge Studies in
Emerging Societies series, this edited volume focuses on the rapid growth of
emerging economies in the context of globalization and education. How are
universities contributing to these trends? Are they helping to make emerging
societies more egalitarian, or are they simply fostering an elite
superclass? What should the role of higher education play in a globalizing
world? How might information and communication technologies support
education? And what might the university look like in the future? Part One

Higher Education in the Global Age:
Education Policy and Emerging Societies

Editors: DANIEL ARAYA & PETER MARBER

Word length: 85,000-90,000 words.

Description
While globalization has been studied on many fronts, one less-researched
aspect has been its impact on higher education. It is no coincidence that
rising formal education has paralleled the expansion of the global economy.
World supply chains have become increasingly dependent on communication
technologies and skilled labor. As wealth has spread globally, more people
have begun enrolling in colleges and universities than ever before, with
record numbers crossing borders to study abroad. In advanced countries,
universities are devising global strategies to attract foreign students and
expand their reach. This includes overseas campuses, joint-venture
partnerships and cross-border online education. In developing countries,
policymakers are racing to produce world-class institutions to increase
economic competitiveness. China and India, in particular, are strongly
investing in education: Asia is already producing twice as many engineers as
America and Europe together. The paradox of the economic boom in many
industrializing countries, however, is that it has benefited a super-elite
most of all. In the last few decades, many of the most classless societies
in the global South have become increasingly polarized between the world's
richest and poorest citizens. As part of the Routledge Studies in Emerging
Societies series, this edited volume focuses on the rapid growth of emerging
economies in the context of globalization and education. How are
universities contributing to these trends? Are they helping to make emerging
societies more egalitarian, or are they simply fostering an elite
superclass? What should the role of higher education play in a globalizing
world? How might information and communication technologies support
education? And what might the university look like in the future?

Part One
Mapping Higher Education
Part One examines the contours of higher education in a global age, mapping
new educational configurations across emerging societies and the global
South.

Part Two

Part Two considers the complex relationship between public policy and
economic growth in the context of globalization and education policy.

Part Three
The Global University
Part Three explores changes in the “Western” notion of the university in
light of globalization and the growing importance of emerging economies.
