Produktbeschreibung
Ten years have passed since
the first global ranking of universities was published. Since then, university
rankings have continued to attract the attention of policymakers and the
academy, challenging perceived wisdom about the status and reputation, as well
as quality and performance, of higher education institutions. Their impact and
influence has impacted and influenced policymakers, students and parents,
employers and other stakeholders - in addition to higher education institutions
around the world. They are now a significant factor shaping institutional
ambition and reputation, and national priorities.

The second edition of Rankings and the Reshaping of Higher
Education , now in paperback, brings the story of rankings up-to-date. It contains new original
research, and extensive analysis of the rankings phenomenon. Ellen Hazelkorn
draws together a wealth of international experience to chronicle how rankings
are helping reshape higher education in the age of globalization. Written in an
easy but authoritative style, this book makes an important contribution to our
understanding of rankings and global changes in higher education. It is essential
reading for policymakers, institutional leaders, managers, advisors, and
scholars.
