“This edited volume received the Best Book Award from the Higher Education Special Interest Group (HESIG) of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) in 2012. … this is an excellent resource for research about the international professoriate and for academics interested in the comparative study of higher education systems. … It should be an essential addition to the libraries of colleges and universities around the world as well as the resource collection of serious scholars of the academic profession.” (John C.
