Abstract
The chapters that precede this one give ample evidence of the breadth and influence of the academic leadership shown and the contributions made by Philip Altbach to the field of international higher education. He has spent his entire career as a member of the academic profession (Part I), promoting analysis of higher education in comparative and international contexts (Parts II, III, IV, and V), examining the rise of the world class university, as a global marker of national competitiveness (Part VI), and, finally, serving as an exceptional teacher and mentor to nearly 90 doctoral students (Part VII). But, even with this extensive sweep across his myriad areas of scholarship and professional expertise, this book has merely scratched the surface of Phil’s range in this field.
