Summary

1. The selections in this book help illustrate the editors' contentions that globalization presents clear disadvantages as well as benefits to all citizens. Globalization's effects on higher education are not likely to be uniform, nor are the outcomes an inevitable process. The future of the university as a place where society can examine itself critically is at stake, and this volume will be a strong contributor to the debate.
