Global university rankings are now more than a decade old and
this book uses the data they have produced to examine how the
international landscape of universities has changed over the
years. It offers new insights into the power and limits of league
tables, a key element of globalized higher education that can be
deplored but hardly ignored. Case studies from Asia, Europe and
North America are explored to highlight the issues raised by a
quantitative exercise that decontextualizes what is linked so
strongly to local factors.
