Reviews

'Governing Universities Globally demonstrates a range of pressures, normative internationalisation, powerful networked concepts and soft regulation which do more to shape our higher education system than the professionals who work in the system realise. So this is a timely book... We should be grateful to Professor King for showing us that there is so powerful an alternative source of policy drivers for the higher education system than simply being left to our own devices.' -- Michael Shattock, London Review of Education 'Governing Universities Globally provides a comprehensive account of higher education in the world today and successfully demonstrates how the study of universities now needs to acknowledge to the global environment.' -- Andrew Steven Gunn, Political Studies
