    University of Nottingham UEB Global Engagement Workshop Nottingham, 23 April 2018 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Simon Marginson UCL Institute of Education ESRC Centre for Global Higher Education Global HE: neither state nor market • The logic of global higher education and science is more that of an open collaborative network than a vertical command system, a semi closed competitive oligopolistic market, or a national arms race in technological advantage • There is no global state, and universities compete for prestige… but more so at national level than globally. • In the space between and across nations there is a high degree of voluntary cooperation, not just in the collaboration between research groups but in the institutional relations between universities.
