Abstract
With the increasing requirement for accreditations and international partnerships, Arab higher education institutions need to strengthen their internal governance to meet those new challenges and offer hope for a brighter future. This book is unique due to the authenticity and contemporariness of the subject, the diverse collection of themes, the different approaches, and the enriching perspectives. It gathers experts from the fields of education and governance—including professionals, academics, and NGOs’ initiators—and puts a special focus on the Arab region.
