- How do researchers in the early stage of their careers assess the value of doctoral education?
- What are the challenges of using international demographic data from existing PhD programs to analyze trends in doctoral education?
- What can happen when regional issues intersect with the need to evaluate doctoral education and ensure its quality?
- Which quality-assurance model has been gaining favor in PhD education, and what challenges does it pose?
- What accounts for conflict between national interests and international collaboration in doctoral education?
- Is there empirical evidence of globalization's impact on doctoral education and the labor market for PhD graduates?
This follow-up to Toward a Global PhD ? , the first volume in the series, includes case studies illustrating global trends in the structure, function, and quality frameworks of doctoral education, and it develops a conceptual framework linking globalization to trends in doctoral education while showing the particular history that has led to the convergence of a number of practices in one or more countries.
