Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book contains many diverse and varied articles on the role of universities in developing regions in both the developing and the post industrial societies. The themes cover universal versus particular approaches to national systems of higher education as experienced in Malaysia and China; the development role of a university in peripheral regions as diverse as northern Sweden and southern Israel, the role of universities in training professional administrators and doctors; the potentially destructive and negative role of a university in contemporary urban American as well as Indian societies, and the potentially dangerous and beneficial consequences of advances of knowledge and technology. Fred Lazin has also written "Policy Implementation of Social Welfare in the 1980s". Yehuda Gradus is co-author of "The Land of the Negev" and "Beersheva", and has also written "Desert Development".
