Leading and Managing Research in a Post-Soviet Central Asian Research University

This volume provides reflective accounts of the research leadership, management and governance development of the research university in an evolving and transforming education environment. It addresses how world-class research universities are conceptualized, managed and led both internationally and within the post-Soviet Central Asian context. The leadership, administrative, management and governance strategies applicable in an evolving research university within a transforming context such as the post-Soviet Central Asian context are foregrounded. The insights and lessons emerging from this volume are critical for universities, responding to challenges and opportunities of globalisation and internationalisation while aiming to be world-class but also being locally relevant. This volume makes an interesting read to university leaders, presidents, rectors, provosts, administrators, research managers, research scholars and students in higher education.
