Produktbeschreibung

Examines how societal values and public funding shape beliefs about the function of higher education in society

Explores how higher education compares to other human rights, and if there is a ranking of importance when it comes to rights

Includes cultural analyses from regions, nation-states, and economies that sort out the degree to which the hypotheses outlined by Neubauer, Shin, and Hawkins (2013) play a role in the conceptualization of higher education as a human right
