Education Marketplace, tells the story of the transformation of the

global academic landscape in recent years. More than 3 million students

now study outside their home nations; globe-trotting faculty

hop from the United States to Singapore to Saudi Arabia; Western

universities create branch campuses in the Middle East and Asia; and new

or rejuvenated research universities in China, South Korea, Europe, and

beyond vie with American giants for the top spots in global education

rankings. In his critically acclaimed new book, Ben Wildavsky makes the

case that, despite worries about heightened university competition and

an ever-fiercer race for talent, the globalisation of higher education

should be welcomed, not feared.
