Globalisation, Trade Liberalisation, and Higher Education in North America
The Emergence of a New Market under NAFTA?
Samenvatting
This study is the first effort to document the extent of NAFTA's impact on higher education. Through case studies, the authors analyze higher education policy in Canada, Mexico, and the USA using a common theoretical framework that identifies economic globalization, international trade liberalization, and post-industrialization as common structural factors exerting a significant influence on higher education in the three countries.
