ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book emerged from the collaboration between International Higher Education,
the quarterly publication of the Boston College Center for International Higher
Education and University World News, the weekly on-line publication. Both
publications provide news and analysis to the higher education community worldwide.
We have selected for this book some of the most relevant articles over the past five
years on topics of lasting interest. A second book will focus on news and analysis on
internationalization in higher education.
We are indebted to our colleagues at UWN for their continuing collaboration.
Brendan O’Malley, Mandy Garner, and Karen MacGregor have been especially
helpful. At the CIHE, we thank Salina Kopellas for her continuing staff support and
Lisa Unangst for editorial assistance. We thank Peter de Liefde of Sense Publishers
for his ongoing support to the Book Series on Global Perspectives in Higher
Education, in which this book is published as number 36.
Georgiana Mihut has taken the main responsibility for selecting and organizing
the articles included here and for drafting the introductions to the sections.

INTRODUCTION
This volume brings together selected articles published in University World News
(UWN) and International Higher Education (IHE). The articles are logically
organized by key themes that reflect the most central issues facing global higher
education. While both publications are freely available online, this book provides
a thematically coherent selection of articles, offering an accessible and analytic
perspective on the pressing concerns of contemporary higher education.
Researchers, policy makers, and practitioners alike further the development of
higher education as a field of study through public and ongoing conversations. It is
news, analysis, and commentary publications like UWN and IHE that facilitate this
dialogue and keep pace with the most up-to-date developments in the field. On 8th of
July 2012, Jordi Curell, then the head of the higher education division in the European
Commission’s (EC) education and training directorate DG-EAC, was interviewed
by University World News. The interview focused on the recent EC proposal to
bundle its many distinct programs focused on education and training into a single
streamlined program (Jongsma, 2012). That proposal became what is currently
known as Erasmus +, an initiative allocating a record 14.7 billion Euro to support
international mobility. In the last five years, among many other developments, UWN
covered the harmonization deal reached by Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda in 2014
(Nganga, 2014), continuously monitored the evolving higher education landscape
in Myanmar following internal conflicts, and analyzed policy shifts in Chile after
dramatic student protests. At the same time, International Higher Education offered
sharp, comprehensive, and accessible analysis on both highly visible and less known
trends and activities in the world of higher education. The publication produced
myriad articles discussing and debating the phenomena of university rankings, the
internationalization of higher education, and access and equity issues.
Understanding Global Higher Education: Insights from Key Global Publications
draws on the contributions of both IHE and UWN to highlight major trends in
higher education in the last five years, and may be best understood as an exercise in
curation. With few exceptions, articles published between the 1st of January 2011
and 31st of May 2016 were considered for inclusion. Our philosophy in selecting
articles was to prioritize breadth of content and perspective. As editors, we tried to
select works that are insightful, clear, and representative—we have not necessarily
attempted to select the best published articles in the respective publications. We have
grouped the articles across themes that are recurrent in both publications—and that
we feel have a continued relevance and importance to higher education worldwide.

G. MIHUT ET AL.
An established tradition in the field of higher education seeks to map activity and
important developments within the field as a whole, often reflected in published
surveys of higher education publications and websites. It is likely the disparate
views and approaches to higher education as a field that draw researchers to review
and analyze the products of their own discipline.
Indeed, higher education, by most standards, is a new field of inquiry. The field
itself is very diverse, prompting Macfarlane and Grant (2012) to describe it as a
“multiple series of intersecting cognate fields” (p. 1). Philip Altbach considered the
emergence of the field and provided a sense of its history and current status (Altbach,
2014). Tight (2012) defines the field of higher education in relation to the very
themes it approaches, the methods it uses, the theories it employs, and the levels of
analysis at which research is conducted. To support his definition, which resulted
from a similar mapping exercise as the one on which this book is based, Tight (2012)
engaged in an analysis of the academic articles and books published in the field of
higher education. Similarly, Horta and Jung (2014) engage in an indexing exercise
of internationally published higher education articles for the purpose of mapping the
research approaches employed and the common themes. At the end of the process, the
authors were able to illustrate that publications by Asian higher education researchers
cluster around one of two themes: policy or teaching and learning. Later, Jung (2015)
replicated this methodology to analyze the research output of South Korean higher
education researchers, identifying a predominant theme of national-centrism. Using
a similar thematic and longitudinal approach, Kehm (2015) mapped the research
activity of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers members, one of the
largest communities of higher education researchers. The results of this research
illustrate an increased focus on governance, management, and organizational issues
in the field of higher education. Other attempts at defining the field focus on mapping
the curriculum taught to PhD students in higher education, specifically in the United
States. This analysis reveals that while the focus on administration, leadership, and
organization seems common across all reviewed programs, topics such as community
colleges and multiculturalism receive see less representation across PhD studies
curricula (Card, Chambers, & Freeman, 2016).

INTRODUCTION
However, similar exercises have not been conducted on news and editorial
publications relevant to the field of higher education. Importantly, these publications
often include broad scope and up to date analysis, which more formal academic
literature does not offer. The Boston College Center for International Higher
Education has a strong tradition of mapping the field of higher education and is
well positioned to fill this gap. Its most prominent mapping exercise to date is the
Worldwide Higher Education Inventory of research centers, academic programs,
and journals and publications. The most up to date edition of the inventory was
published in 2014 (Rumbley et al., 2014), and an interactive online version is
available on the center’s website.
