Globalisation, Trade Liberalisation and Higher Education in North America The Emergence of a New Market Under Nafta

This volume analyzes the emerging relationship between trade liberalisation, post-industrialisation, and higher education policy in Canada, Mexico, and the USA. In separate case studies, the authors analyze higher education policy in Canada, Mexico, and the USA using a common theoretical framework that identifies economic globalisation, international trade liberalisation, and post-industrialisation as common structural factors exerting a significant, if often indirect, influence on higher education in the three countries. This study - the result of trilateral co-operation between three scholars in Canada, Mexico, and the USA - is the first effort to document the extent of NAFTA's impact on higher education. It is of interest to university professors working in higher education, economics, and political science; professionals and researchers in higher education associations, and non-governmental organizations involved in higher education policy. This text can also be used as a supplemental text in graduate courses on higher education policy and administration or courses on international higher education.Barrow, Clyde W. is the author of 'Globalisation, Trade Liberalisation and Higher Education in North America The Emergence of a New Market Under Nafta', published 2003 under ISBN 9781402018626 and ISBN 1402018622.
