Internationalisation of higher education – which entails recruitment of international students and staff, development of joint programs and branch campuses, and other research and education partnerships – has become an indispensable part of higher education worldwide. While most post-Soviet states liberalised their higher education systems shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan chose a peculiar way of developing a national tertiary education system. The authoritarian regime’s politics of ideological compliance during the period of 1991–2016 supplanted the genuine functions of higher education institutions as places of education and research. As a result, Uzbekistan’s higher education system remained largely isolated, although there was a strong demand for alternative, international providers of higher education. The book explains why there was such a cautious approach to internationalisation of the university system in Uzbekistan under President Islam Karimov and how it was implemented. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-IN\"\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars, historians and political scientists\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-IN\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-IN\"\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eresearchers of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-IN\"\u003eCentral Asian studies, as well as readers interested in the legacy of post-Soviet governance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-01-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819509539\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-95-0954-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 347\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317739286668,"sku":"9789819509539","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819509539.jpg?v=1775055446","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819509539","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
