How does global capitalism affect the higher education systems of developing countries?

This research aims to describe the expected and observed educational-instructional effects of economic globalisation on higher education institutions in so-called 'developing countries'. It explores how global capitalism forces universities in emerging economies, such as India, Turkey and China, to build up their education systems in accordance with the demands of the global market system. It concludes that a knowledgedriven global economy demands a larger proportion of the human capital and that this forces the higher education systems to redesign their strategies, education systems, policies and structures in order to compete effectively in the global economy and meet the demands of economic globalisation.
