International Handbook of Higher Education
Forest, James J.F.& Altbach, Philip G. (Eds.). Springer International Handbooks of Education, Vol. 18. (2005).
Higher education is a truly global activity, built around the intersections of international knowledge networks in which institutions, faculty and students explore, create and share knowledge. Virtually all colleges and universities stem from a common organizational model and intellectual history, and academic disciplines are defined worldwide in common terms the study of sociology in Japan or Germany is seen roughly the same as the study of sociology in Canada or the United States. The purpose of this publication is to provide a central, authoritative reference source on the most essential topics of higher education. The International Handbook of Higher Education combines a rich diversity of scholarly perspectives with a wide range of internationally derived descriptions and analyses. Chapters in the first volume cover central themes in the study of higher education, while contributors to the second volume focus on contemporary higher education issues within specific countries or regions. Together, these volumes provide a centralized, easily accessible, yet scholarly source of information. To order, please visit.

This annotated bibliography was compiled by Kristin Tamblyn, in cooperation with David Comp of the University of Chicago, as a potential research resource for NAFSA: Association for International Educators. The 559 empirical articles and dissertations from as early as 1974 are organized alphabetically and most are accompanied with abstracts. Some of the articles focus on specific ethnic groups while others generalize to international students as a whole.
