Universities, Rankings and the Dynamics of Global Higher EducationPerspectives from Asia, Europe and North America /[electronic resource] :by Hans Peter Hertig. - 1st ed. 2016. - XIII, 229 p. 3 illus.online resource.

Preface -- Chapter 1. Universities and Ranking in Globalized Higher Education -- Chapter 2. Tools to Capture and Measure the Rise and Fall of Universities -- Chapter 3. Winners and Losers According to Rankings -- Chapter 4. A Closer Look at the Ranked: Ten Case Studies in Asia, Europe and North America -- Chapter 5. Why Universities Rise and Fall? The Crucial Factors -- Chapter 6. Going Back to the Source: A Second Look at Rankings.

Global university rankings are now more than a decade old and this book uses the data they have produced to examine how the international landscape of universities has changed over the years. It offers new insights into the power and limits of league tables, a key element of globalized higher education that can be deplored but hardly ignored. Case studies from Asia, Europe and North America are explored to highlight the issues raised by a quantitative exercise that decontextualizes what is linked so strongly to local factors. Hans Peter Hertig is a Professor Emeritus of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and a former director of the Swiss National Science Foundation and of Swissnex Shanghai. Trained as a chemist and political scientist, he specializes in science policy, cross-disciplinary projects, area and cultural studies and international cooperation.
