Mobility and migration in Asian Pacific higher education

Description:

"Contemporary globalization is being structured by a continuously expanding network of circuits of exchange that increasingly define the nature of the manufacturing, services, and information sectors of society. Higher education is no exception. Through case studies sited in eight Asian countries, Europe, and the United States, this volume explores the range and consequences of increased mobility within Asia-Pacific higher education and the patterns of migration emerging for persons, ideas, institutions, and practices"-- "As the world is increasingly impacted by globalization, higher education as a set of institutions and practices, is undergoing steady changes --signified in part by the nature and level of "exchanges" taking place with the many parts that make up global, regional and national higher education. This volume explores the ways in which such mobility is taking place and the increased degree to which people, ideas and structures migrate within global higher education"--
