Description

Originally published in 1996 The Social Role of Higher Education is an anthology of nine papers, it presents cases studies showing how culture influences the social role of higher education in various nations.

It examines how environments get defined and how they shape universities, and how knowledge and academic work interact in national contexts.

This book focuses on how both developed and developing countries' systems of higher education are affected by their own culture and their place within the larger global context.
