The World-Class University and Ranking: Aiming Beyond Status

Jan, S., & Liu, N. (Eds.). (2009).  The World-Class University and Ranking: Aiming Beyond Status. Bucharest: UNESCO-CEPES. (ISBN 978-973-610-491-6)

The book is structured in three inter-related parts, presenting a wide perspective on the conceptual framework and characteristics of the "word-class" university, various litmus tests for identifying institutions which match the criteria required to be considered as "the world-class" university-mostly in the context of university-ranking and views on "wining formulas", and the challenges related to their establishment and operation.
