随着反对全球化的声音愈演愈烈，面向国际的公立大学面临着一段极不稳定的时期。特别是，他们发现自己夹在公共资助者狭隘的地方议程和研究人员和学生的全球视野之间。我们认为，经济地理学的视角为大学如何应对这些紧张局势提供了一个强有力的视角。具体来说，我们展示了如何通过城市和地区层面的战略来管理地方与全球的紧张关系。我们的贡献旨在为当前高等教育部门的辩论提供信息，并将经济地理学更集中地纳入有关这一主题的公共话语。
As a growing backlash against globalisation gathers momentum, internationally oriented public universities face a period of great unrest. In particular, they find themselves caught between the narrowing local agendas of their public funders and the global outlook of their researchers and students. We suggest that an economic geography lens provides a powerful perspective for how universities might navigate these tensions. Specifically, we show how local-global tensions can be managed through strategies engaged at the city and regional level. Our contribution seeks to inform current debates in the higher education sector and bring economic geography more centrally into public discourse on this topic.
