Global Education, Heterarchies, and Hybrid Organizations

  • Chapter
Book cover The Search for New Governance of Higher Education in Asia

Part of the book series: International and Development Education ((INTDE))

Abstract

My intention in this chapter is to be provocative and exploratory rather than definitive. I want to identify and explore a set of global trends within the forms and modalities of the state and the relationships of these trends to changes in the delivery of educational services and concomitantly in the values and ecologies of educational service organizations (both state and private). I will also use the chapter as an opportunity to discuss and develop the concept of heterarchy.
