Rhetoric Of The Asia Higher Education Rankings eBook

This book offers a perspective from the Global South to analysing the Asian higher education ranking system. The narratives and major debates on world university rankings is examined and discussed to provide critical perspectives on the social implications of rankings for Asia. Specifically, the implications of the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) world university rankings are analysed to gain insights into the usefulness of reputation rankings in addressing social inequality. The analysis provides a blueprint for global politics in rankings to shape policies and the governance of higher education in Asia.
