The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South - (Bloomsbury Handbooks) (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This Handbook covers a wide range of historical perspectives, realities, research and practice of internationalization of higher education (IHE) in the global south and makes comparisons to IHE issues in the global north. Drawing on the expertise of 32 academics and policy makers based in and originating from four key regions of focus: Sub-Saharan Africa; North Africa and the Middle East; Asia Pacific; Latin America and the Caribbean.
