dc.description.abstractThis thesis critically analyses the state of regional higher education cooperation with the goal of extrapolating lessons from Europe through the Bologna Process and South America through the MERCOSUR-Educativo project for future regional higher education arrangements broadly and southern Africa specifically. In approaching the issue of regionalisation of higher education, the thesis explores the relationship between regionalisation and globalisation and their respective influences on regional higher education arrangements. International trends, pressures, and tensions in higher education are discussed including scholarship and analysis from diverse sources in order to provide a foundation for the case studies investigated in the research. The discussion includes the tensions between competition and cooperation, centralisation and autonomy, concepts of governance and legitimacy, and the trends of the growing knowledge economy. The thesis also uses regional theory to understand and explain the attempts to develop cooperation in higher education within each region.en_ZA
