"Higher Education Institutions simultaneously critique and participate in national
and international rankings of universities. However, this creates a difficult situation
since if universities do participate in rankings they acquiesce to a system based
in media logics that has little to do with academic norms of research. If they do
not participate in the rankings they risk losing public funding, students and donors
in an increasingly competitive and globalized environment. This book delves into the
influence of journalists, business tycoons and multinational corporations in defining
what world class is and how it will be measured. Rankings provide us with a rich study
for understanding how universities define, deploy and manage their assets and liabilities
in a mediatized globalized economy"-- Back cover
