It offers fresh insights into the actual meaning of ‘private’ in different higher education contexts, contributing to a deeper understanding of the actual effects of global policies in local contexts through ethnographies. This book explores how private universities were established, their context and history, and their changing business models and operations.   The strengths of this book are its ethnographic detail, which shows the complexity and fast changing forms of private higher education, and its reluctance to jump to simplified labelling of public and private. It is a model for further ethnographic studies of local developments in higher education.  Contributors are: Ayça Alemdaroğlu, Daniele Cantini, Carmela Chávez Irigoyen, Enrico Ille, Sylvie Mazzella, Alexander Mitterle, Annemarie Profanter, and Susan Wright.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures  Acknowledgements  Notes on contributors  Introduction: Rethinking Private Higher Education  Daniele Cantini   Chapter 1: The Global Trade in Higher Education  Ayça Alemdaroğlu   Chapter 2: The Free Market and Higher Education  Carmela Chávez Irigoyen   Chapter 3: Challenges and Stakes in the Construction of a Private Market in Higher Education in Tunisia  Sylvie Mazzella   Chapter 4: Political, Financial and Moral Aspects of Sudan's Private Higher Education  Enrico Ille   Chapter 5: Private Universities and the State in Egypt at a Time of Social and Political Change  Daniele Cantini   Chapter 6: University is a Private Matter  Annemarie Profanter   Chapter 7: Stratification of Higher Education in German Private Higher Education  Alexandre Mitterle   Afterword  Susan Wright   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210647069015,"sku":"9789004267398","price":121.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rethinking-private-higher-education-ethnographic-perspectives-from-the-middle-east-and-beyond-9789004267398","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
