Sabour, M'Hammed
Mediterranean Journal of Educational Studies, v4 n2 p237-41 1999
Discusses the impact of globalization on higher education in the Arab World, particularly North Africa and the Middle East. The influence has been positive regarding the university's openness to the world and involvement in global intellectual and scientific activity and culture.
