本文将发展研究和比较教育方面已发表的文献中感兴趣的关键政策主题联系起来，首先从南方和北方高等教育机构的角度探讨了跨国合作的潜在利益和风险，以促进背景信息研究和可持续发展。最近由加拿大和美国发展援助机构支持的高等教育伙伴关系根据外部和内部资金、其他伙伴和资助者的参与以及项目期限等国际相关主题进行比较和严格评估。从AUCC和hed管理的来源（包括2007-2009年期间活跃的74个CIDA支持的和186个USAID支持的大学伙伴关系）编制的数据集进行比较分析表明，CIDA的奖励往往比大多数USAID的奖励数额更大，持续时间更长，参与的大学贡献了令人印象深刻的成本分担资源。最后一节阐述了研究结果对具有可持续发展目标的南北高等教育伙伴关系的更广泛影响，以及关于这些伙伴关系所体现的可能性和局限性的文献。
Linking key policy themes of interest in the published literature on development studies and comparative education, the article initially explores the potential benefits and risks of partnering transnationally for contextually informed research and sustainable development from the perspective of Southern and Northern higher education institutions. Higher education partnerships recently supported by the development-assistance agencies of Canada and the United States are compared and critically assessed according to the internationally relevant themes of external and internal funding, the involvement of additional partners and funders, and project duration. Comparative analysis of datasets compiled from AUCC- and HED-managed sources that encompass 74 CIDA-supported and 186 USAID-supported university partnerships active during 2007–2009 shows that CIDA awards tend to be substantially larger in amount and longer in duration than most USAID awards and that participating universities have contributed impressive cost-share resources. The concluding section draws out wider implications of study findings for North–South higher education partnerships with sustainable-development objectives and for the literature on the possibilities and limitations they embody.
