Summary

This book provides readers with a profound, up-to-date analysis of most recent developments in higher education institutions worldwide. The internationally acclaimed group of authors provide an in-depth analysis of the structure of the field of higher education research, and provide practical examples of the founding and managing of higher education institutes in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Australia. The topic of training in higher education researchers is widely discussed. A cross-national comparison demonstrates the different training modes of higher education institutes and programmes for young scholars who plan a career in higher education. The volume will be of relevance to all higher education researchers, administrators, policy makers, and graduate students who work in the field of higher education.
