Global Realities in Private Higher Education

Edited by the field’s foremost scholars, the broadest aim of this series is to offer critical insights into the rapid development and status of private higher education (PHE) globally, while further examining the realities and challenges faced by it. Through a series of multi-disciplinary and empirically informed volumes, the series explores the increasingly large and diversifying private sector. Drawing significantly on research conducted with the Program for Research on Private Higher Education (PROPHE), important topics explored will include policy, governance, and academic freedom in PHE through national and regional case studies. The introduction to each book will address the operationalized definition of ‘private’, the commonality of approaches and the comparability of findings across individual studies in worldwide PHE, and the context around specific terminology. This series ultimately provides a timely opportunity to contribute empirically rigorous research to this under-explored area of higher education.

This series is developed in collaboration with The Program for Research on Private Higher Education (PROPHE), a global network of scholars and preeminent source of scholarship on PHE around the world.
