Abstract
"The growing impact of university rankings on public policy - and on students' choices - has stirred controversy worldwide. This unique volume brings together the architects to debate the uses and misuses of existing rankings. With voices from five continents, it provides a comprehensive overview of current thinking on the subject and sets out alternative approaches and complementary tools for a new era of transparent and informed use of higher education ranking tables."-- P.
