Exploring knowledge production and policy shifts in global higher education

Abstract

Higher education is undergoing significant transformation in response to global pressures such as policy shifts, internationalization, and changing governance models. As institutions adapt to these trends, they must find ways to balance academic excellence with equity, sustainability, and responsiveness to societal needs. The production and dissemination of knowledge play a central role in shaping how universities contribute to global challenges. These shifts demand reimagined curricula, cross-border collaboration, and inclusive leadership to ensure higher education remains a driver of progress and innovation. Understanding these dynamics is essential for aligning institutional practices with the broader goals of global development and social impact. Exploring Knowledge Production and Policy Shifts in Global Higher Education examines the essential dimensions shaping higher education amidst current global trends in policy, governance, and internationalization, with a focus on how knowledge production contributes to these dynamics and influences the evolving role of higher education. It provides a comprehensive overview of how institutions can respond to global challenges. Covering topics such as curriculum reform, knowledge development, and sustainable development, this book is an excellent resource for scholars, educators, policymakers, institutional leaders, and more.
