Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate UniversityFrom hegemony to multipolarity: Simon Marginson on the geopolitics reshaping global higher education
ECNU Review of EducationA new study in ECNU Review of Education traces the evolution of global higher education across two major geopolitical phases: the U.S.-led globalization of higher education from 1990 to 2015, and the partial deglobalization that has followed. Drawing on human geography, historical analysis, and empirical data, Simon Marginson examines how the global higher education space has been constructed and contested over time. His recently published book, Global Higher Education in Times of Upheaval, extends this inquiry into a broader critique of Anglo-American individualism and the search for a global common good. Together, the article and the book confront a defining question for our multipolar moment: How can higher education transcend narrow national interests and serve humanity as a whole?
