Education across borders: politics, policy and legislative action

This book is founded on years of experience of administrative, research and educational activity on the part of the contributors, some of whom are world leaders in the field. Besides providing a theoretical collection of ideas, the contributors provide real insight into the politics, the policies and the legislation that surround across-border interactions. The volume provides a valuable guide for academic, administrator and student alike about some of the concerns and opportunities that are present in across-border education. A greater emphasis has been placed on South-North interactions, rather than the usual North-South flow. This alternative emphasis also applies to the contributions thatfocus on regional institutions, and knowledge in the academy.
