Lifelong Learning in Europe
The ongoing economic crisis in Europe raises fundamental questions about the European Union's ability to harmonize educational policy across its member states. With evidence that European unity is clearly faltering, many educational goals, including lifelong learning, are in trouble. In this book, the contributors work toward a greater understanding of lifelong learning in an expanded Europe, with particular emphasis on post-Soviet states. Examining data from the EU Sixth Framework Project Lifelong Learning Policy and Practice in Europe, they provide important insights on how lifelong learning contributes to economic growth and social cohesion, as well as how it has evolved over the years.

Achieving Equity and Quality in Higher Education
Across the world, higher education is witnessing exponential growth in both student participation and types of educational providers. One key phenomenon of this growth is an increase in student diversity: governments are widening access to higher education for students from traditionally underrepresented groups. However, this raises questions about whether this rapid growth may in face compromise academic quality.

Including case studies spanning four continents, the authors and editors examine whether increasing widening participation positively impacts upon academic quality. This volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of global higher education, representation and participation in education, and quality in higher education.
