Nico Cloete, Johann Mouton and Charles Sheppard
This book draws on a large number of studies conducted by the Centre for Higher Education Trust (CHET) and the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) over the past decade.

Knowledge Production and Contradictory Functions in African Higher Education
Edited by Nico Cloete, Peter Maassen and Tracy Bailey
So, while the research focus of this book consists of the eight African universities, the theoretical underpinnings are global and, we think, many of the implications are far wider than the universities studied.
