Boston, Massachusetts, America
The last ten years represent a significant period of reform in higher education across the globe. For example, regional governments and university consortia have undertaken projects to improve the competitiveness and overall 'quality' of higher education systems (e.g. the European Higher Education Area, ASEAN University Network), national governments and higher education institutions are renewing investment in marketing strategies to attract fee-paying international students, strategic policy shifts have taken place to use universities as magnets to recruit high-skill labour and researchers, and new expectations are placed on the academy to respond to changing political economies (e.g., calls toward more policy-oriented or community-based research).
