Description

In The Transnationally Partnered University, Koehn and Obamba explore the transnational-higher-education landscape in Africa and examine the extent to which the reality of partnership matches its golden rhetoric.

By partnering across disciplinary and geographical boundaries, universities enable societies to make progress in alleviating poverty, adapting to climate change, and dealing with other current and future challenges.

Specific approaches for linking African scholars and institutions of higher learning through symmetrical and mutually beneficial North-South and South-South partnerships are explored. The authors' creative and original process-based analysis of transnational-higher-education partnerships will be of interest to students of comparative and international education, science and technology, development studies, and African affairs as well as higher-education administrators, donor and development-agency professionals, and ministry personnel in Africa.
