Title: Higher education in Latin America
Description: "Globalization has spurred several attempts to reform higher education in Latin America. Despite these efforts, the region remains peripheral to international centers of research and knowledge dissemination. Higher Education in Latin America: The International Dimension represents an important step in addressing this situation. It examines the challenges Latin America faces in becoming a world-renowned knowledge center by assessing the overall development of the region's higher education with respect to various factors, including curricula, educational networks, and mobility of teachers and students.

Based on studies of higher education in seven countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and Peru), the volume identifies opportunities for raising Latin America's profile on the global stage"--Jacket.
