Any country -- especially in the developing world -- striving to participate in the global knowledge economy must recognize the power of such institutions to transform society.

Philip G. Altbach, Jorge Bal+ín, and their contributors combine current scholarship and practical experience in presenting a comprehensive discussion of the significant issues facing research universities in Mexico, China, India, and elsewhere. They address the special challenges of establishing and maintaining these institutions; the role of information technology; how research universities train leaders and foster scientific innovation; and the extent to which the private sector can and should be involved in funding and development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43415352213549,"sku":"9780801886614","price":193.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lioncrest.com.au\/products\/9780801886614","provider":"Woodslane Education","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
