Higher Education in the South Pacific: A Political Economy.
Caston, Geoffrey
Comparative Education, v29 n3 p321-32 1993
The University of the South Pacific (USP) provides cost-effective higher education to a third of postsecondary students from 12 joint-proprietor Pacific Island countries. As the only regional world-status university, USP fulfills an important function, but that status is threatened by nationalist politics, diminishing international aid, and an authoritarian government in Fiji (USP's host country).
