Mäkinen, Sirke – Comparative Education, 2021
Why have regimes and societies that would otherwise argue for their distinctiveness and sovereign decision-making caught 'ranking fever' in HE? Why are they willing to give up their sovereignty in the field of HE, and why do they accept the requirement of homogeneity to succeed in global university rankings? This paradox is explored in the case of…

Oluwasegun A. Oladipo; Kun Dai; Christine Wen-Yi Liang – Studies in Higher Education, 2024

Shreeve, Robyn Lucia – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2020
Global university rankings seek to illustrate the performance of institutions on an international level and are used by many institutions to help them to reach strategic goals, as such, they have become synonymous to some as an indicator of quality and desirability. As global university rankings become further embedded as a basis on which…

Lillie, Karen – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2021
This article investigates elite young people's transitions from the Leysin American School in Switzerland, an elite secondary school, to international higher education. These young people often moved to the UK or the US for higher education -- locations associated with global status in the education market. However, I argue, new configurations of…

Lim, Miguel Antonio – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2018
University rankers are the subject of much criticism, and yet they remain influential in the field of higher education. Drawing from a two-year field study of university ranking organizations, interviews with key correspondents in the sector, and an analysis of related documents, I introduce the concept of "weak expertise." This kind of…

Gerhards, Jürgen; Hans, Silke; Drewski, Daniel – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2018
The global academic system is hierarchically structured between a center, a semi-periphery and a periphery. We analyze to what extent the position of a country and a university within this hierarchy of scientific reputation shapes doctoral students' chances of international mobility. We conducted an exploratory experimental study using fake…

Robertson, Susan L. – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2022
A great deal has been written about the rise of the world-class university and global university rankings over the past two decades. Much of this work focuses on either the efficacy of the indicators used to measure world classness or on the purposes they serve regarding student choice in an international market. However, less attention has been…

Bamberger, Annette; Bronshtein, Yifat; Yemini, Miri – Teaching in Higher Education, 2020
The competition for international students has spurred higher education institutions (HEIs) to craft marketing campaigns to appeal to potential students, with social media providing an increasingly prominent platform for such interactions. We analyse the social media data trails (Facebook posts) of two Israeli HEIs to reveal how they portray…

Allen, Ryan M. – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2021
The concept of the world-class university has proliferated throughout the world, yet there is no universal consensus on how to define these elite institutions. Without a unified definition, rankings have become a direct proxy for sense-making in the sector and a commensurate indicator that decision-makers have used to understand the world-class…

Shahjahan, Riyad A.; Grimm, Adam T. – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2023
Methodological nationalism (MN) pervades higher education scholarship and practice, particularly in the arena of globalisation of higher education (HE) (Shahjahan and Kezar 2013). MN refers to the assumption that national boundaries define the natural category or unit of analysis for society. Drawing on affect theories, this conceptual article…
