Two decades following the end of the cold war, during which a unipolar framework of neoliberal ’globalisation’ had been dominant, the emergence of new centres of large-scale economic growth, demand and exports, which is associated with a rising middle class in the South, has emerged with critical implications for African development and its geopolitical position. Indeed, African is seen as the "rising" and future pole of development in the world system, given that it has experienced sustained GDP growth rates above 5% since 2008. Much of this is tied to export growth.

The mission of higher education is to produce and to share knowledge, which is achieved mainly through research and teaching. While teaching can be seen in a traditional sense, as a pedagogical activity involving professors and students, it also encompasses various other ways of elevating the level of awareness, consciousness, rationality, criticism, creativity, innovation, and

Introduction Higher education in Canada, and around the world, is at a crossroads. The continuing growth of technology and its potential to support the transformation of teaching and learning across the academy is beginning to challenge the fundamental ways in which we view the university and the communities it serves. The almost frenetic enthusiasm for the MOOC, with its potential to make

National Welfare States have been affected in many ways by European Integration since 1957:* by direct policy pressures of integration, ** be it by positive social policy initiatives or ** by negative policy reforms imposing market compatibility requirements at EU level;* and by indirect pressures of integration (social dumping, EMU, Masstricht criteria;...) to which national welfare states need to adapt.

Introduction There can be little doubt that higher education institutions (HEIs) have experienced massive changes in the past three decades. Across England, the US, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, new public management has introduced corporate governance structures, strategic plans, performance management, quality assurance processes, a client-focused approach to students and curriculum, and a commodification of higher education that has seen an

Places that are good to live in are also good places to visit. Tourists are seeking high quality experiences and there is much similarity between the features of places that are sought by both residents and tourists. Such places seldom occur by chance but require careful planning and management. Accordingly, the focus of this presentation is on tourism planning in China: its successes and failures and what might be done to make it better.

In Chinese and International cities, social and economic boundaries as well as new urban hierarchies are appearing and producing diffracted inequalities and reticular dominations. Since Chinese and International cities are involved in the globalization process, internal boundaries and new cosmopolitanisms with transnational territories are being simultaneously produced. In international cities there are spaces of strong legitimacy, spaces of weak legitimacy and also intermediate spaces which are producers of struggle for recognition. These grammars of recognition contain, in muffled form, urban conflicts and tensions which can give rise to revolts and collective protests.

As China's environmental footprint has grown to affect nearly all aspects of global environmental health, China's role in global environmental policy has become the object of increasingly intense scrutiny. This analysis assesses China's performance to date and concludes that, despite significant strengths, it remains uneven across different environmental issue areas. The analysis then considers the implications of these observations for China's future role as a global environmental actor in international context with particular focus on the US-China relationship.
