Higher Education In The Post-communist World by Paula Sabloff, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Originally published in 1999, Higher Education in the Post-Communist Worldfocuses on specific public universities during their, and their nations' early transition years (1989-1995) from communism to democracy and the changes from centrally planned, to free-market economies. The book offers a detailed view of universities in transition rather than case studies of entire systems of higher education, providing an opportunity for readers to understand the national politico-economic transition on higher education- individual faculty, students, and administrator; departments; and university - in a more immediate way than a system-wide approach would. The book presents information on specific universities and how the demise of the Soviet Union affected the governance, finance, faculty, students, and curriculum in several post-communist countries. | Higher Education In The Post-communist World by Paula Sabloff, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
