Abstract

Higher education in the developing world has changed dramatically over the past two decades, mainly as a result of increasing globalization. The most impacting of these forces come from two directions: economic and political. How the two factors interact and the kind of system they produce depend largely upon the quality-assurance mechanisms implemented.
