Description and Table of Contents
Description
By drawing on newly developed comparative data and contemporary policy issues, this book analyzes the distinct characteristics of the higher educational systems in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It considers how government policy and institutions have responded to the political conflict. The author examines the interaction between the two systems and locates the development of higher education in Ireland in the context of international trends.
