PROPHE’s book series with Routledge will powerfully advance and disseminate knowledge about the principal characteristics and the significance of the world’s private sector of higher education, which holds a third of total enrollment. The contract provides for a first stage publication of some six volumes. Following the initial Public Policy and Asia volumes will be a volume on the Accreditation of Private and Public Higher Education Institutions. The fourth volume will then focus on For-Profit Higher Education. Emulating the broad country case focus of the Asia volume, volume 5 will analyze Latin America. The Internal Governance of Private Higher Education Institutions will then be the focus of volume 6, like the Accreditation volume emphasizing private-public comparisons.
Among additional topics for treatment down the road are religious stagnation and revival, Germany’s market-oriented private surge, international branch campuses, particular stakeholders (e.g., students, owners), and other geographical regions.
