Infos

A study of higher education expansion and quality in the world's four largest developing economies—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—that asks how each state actively develops its higher education system, including achieving mass expansion and aiming for greater "quality," in the context of the many forces, global and local, that impinge on its society, including on its existing higher education institutions.

---

This is a study of higher education in the world's four largest developing economies-Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Already important players globally, by mid-century, they are likely to be economic powerhouses. But whether they reach that level of development will depend in part on how successfully they create quality higher education that puts their labor forces at the cutting edge of the information society.Using an empirical, comparative approach, this book develops a broad picture of the higher education system in each country in the context of both global and local forces. The authors offer insights into how differing socioeconomic and historic patterns of change and political contexts influence developments in higher education. In asking why each state takes the approach that it does, this work situates a discussion of university expansion and quality in the context of governments' educational policies and reflects on the larger struggles over social goals and the distribution of national resources.
