Description
Summary:The focus is on universities around the world strengthening their competitive positioning in a global knowledge era through curriculum policy transformations. It highlights the need to study how ideological shifts and policy flows as well as networks between global and local levels are producing ‘radical’ change in curriculum policies in certain research-intensive universities. The article sets out a research approach for such study in relation to the Asia-Pacific Region. Pursuing such a research approach should make a significant contribution to the field of globalization and higher education.
