• In Event: University ranking and global competitiveness: Exploring convergence and divergence in the politics and policy environment in higher education reform

Abstract

The panel examines the growing trend towards an emphasis on the university ranking as indicative of the status of national higher education systems. It explores the pathways through which reform in the Russian State University System has been shaped by both the local and global context. The analysis employs a qualitative and quantitative comparative document analysis, and personal accounts of authors and researchers to inform the discussion.
