Abstract	"There is a fascinating complexity inherent to a modern, research intensive, publicly funded university. The complexity of a university arises from shared decision-making (sometimes called collegial governance), academic freedom, and the personalities of the dominant group of individuals in the academy - the tenured professors. Complexity also arises from the interplay between research mandates and teaching mandates that include large, broadly based undergraduate programs, professional programs, post-baccalaureate (graduate) programs, trainee programs (post-doctoral fellows) and increasing numbers of continuing professional-development programs. Universities around the world face a rapidly changing, international, competitive landscape. Those in the west are now finding that countries such as the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa) which previously served as recruitment sources of high quality professors and students, continue to be collaborators and partners, but also are now competitors. The goal of this collection is to start a discussion. The book is based on the notion that every national university system is now involved internationally, and has important contributions to make to the international dialogue. The articles are written for well-informed individuals, but not necessarily experts in the administration of higher education." (publisher's description).
