Global Regionalisms and Higher Education Projects, Processes, Politics

This original book provides a unique analysis of the different regional and inter-regional projects, their processes and the politics of Europeanization, globalization and education. Collectively, the contributors engage with a range of theories on regionalizing in order to explore new ways of thinking about regionalisms and inter-regionalisms with a focus on the higher education sector. It makes the compelling case that globally, higher education is being transformed by regionalizing and inter-regionalizing projects aimed at resolving ongoing economic, political and cultural challenges within and beyond national territorial states.The chapters range over a wide geography of regional projects and their unique politics - from Europe to Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Gulf, and the Barents region. Collectively they reveal the diverse, uneven, and variegated nature of global regionalisms in higher education. Comprehensive and theoretically informed, this unique book will appeal to academics and postgraduate students, in addition to policy-makers and administrators involved in higher education.
