| Summary, etc | Universities for a New World: Making a Global Network in International Higher Education, 1913–2013 is an edited volume by Deryck M. Schreuder published to celebrate the centenary of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU). The book traces the evolution of the ACU from its origins as the Universities Bureau of the British Empire to its emergence as the world's oldest international university network. It examines how higher education has transformed over the past century in response to globalization, technological change, massification, international collaboration, and changing societal expectations. The volume is divided into thematic sections covering the history of the ACU, the globalization of higher education, regional developments across Commonwealth nations, and future challenges facing universities. Contributors discuss issues such as internationalization, quality assurance, academic leadership, research collaboration, widening access, equity, student mobility, innovation, and the role of universities in economic and social development. Regional case studies from Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, and other Commonwealth countries illustrate the diversity of higher education systems while highlighting shared opportunities and challenges. |
