Summary "Building Global Education with a Local Perspective introduces the concepts, theories, and practices associated with glocal higher education, based on an old idea "think globally, act locally", and "think locally, act globally". Jean Francois' outline of glocal higher education makes propositions and suggests frameworks that can serve as alternative to the limitations of the imperialist ambitions of global education. Using templates, case studies, illustrations, and activities, Jean Francois challenges the critical thinking of scholars and policy makers, and suggest original strategies to plan and implement programs, projects, and activities in international, comparative, and global education"-- Provided by publisher
