"An important work."--Susan Salvador, Journal of College Student Development "Levin points out the implications, both pro and con, of the community colleges expanding their community service role to encompass a worldwide educational and service function."--Arthur M. Cohen, Director, ERIC Clearinghouse for Community Colleges "...A break-through in community college scholarship, moving beyond the boundaries of college, state and nation, and into issues of organization of knowledge at two year schools in a global economy."--Sheila Slaughter and Larry Leslie, authors of Academic Capitalism: Politics, Policies, and the Entrepreneurial University "An enlightening read that will surely stimulate further discussion. A must read."-- Library Journal "Levin's design and approach are sound and sufficiently documented to lend support to the findings in this book."-- Educational Researcher, "An important work."--Susan Salvador,Journal of College Student Development "Levin points out the implications, both pro and con, of the community colleges expanding their community service role to encompass a worldwide educational and service function."--Arthur M.

A must read."--Library Journal"Levin's design and approach are sound and sufficiently documented to lend support to the findings in this book."--Educational Researcher, 'As it is thought of primarily as a local institution, one might not think that the community college would be affected significantly by globalization. However, in a path breaking study in two countries, Professor Levin shows that the community college has been affected in profound and diverse ways by the forces of globalization. In addition to dissecting the impacts of globalization, this book also provides such valuable insights into the organizational dynamics of community colleges that it is a must read for anyone interested in the management of community colleges.' - Michael L. Skolnik The William G. Davis Chair in Community College Leadership, University of Toronto 'As John Levin demonstrates, globalization and academic capitalism are as pervasive in community colleges as in universities, and the two are re-shaping the mission of the community college as well as the opportunities available to students. Community colleges are entrepreneurial actors on a global stage, trading in international students, marketers of global educational products, and markets for multinational corporations. This book is a break-through in community college scholarship, moving beyond the boundaries of college, state and nation, and into issues of organization of knowledge at two year schools in a global economy.' - Sheila Slaughter and Larry Leslie, authors of Academic Capitalism: Politics, Policies and the Entrepreneurial University 'Levin's design and approach are sound and sufficiently documented to lend support to the findings in this book.' - Educational Researcher '...among those who care about the role and future of community colleges, Levin's work belongs on your shelf.' - Chad M. Hanson, The Journal of Higher Education '...an important work...' - Susan Salvador, Journal of College Student Development

Introduction Globalization and the community college The Cases: Seven Colleges in Two Nations The Domains of Globalization: The Economic Domain, the Cultural Domain The Information Domain The Domain of Politics The Process of Globalization What Remains Behind: The Community College in the 21st Century
Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
Long regarded as a local institution, the community college has become a globalized institution. It has been affected by global forces, and by the interpretations of organizational members to both global forces and to the responses of intermediaries. Globalization as a process finds an outlet within the community college where economic, cultural, and technological behaviors are advanced along lines consistent with and supportive of globalization. Furthermore, government actions have directed community colleges to respond and adapt to a global economy. In this book, seven community colleges are examined to demonstrate organizational change in the 1990s precipitated by globalization., Levin looks at seven community colleges that have undergone organizational change in response to globalization. For each college, he examines three different effects of globalization: in the economic domain, the cultural domain, and the information domain. Essential reading for community college presidents, chief academic and finance officers, development and research directors, members of governing boards and all those committed to enhancing the mission of the community college.
