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.
