This book provides a novel approach to the study of international law and higher education. The book examines the issue of the recognition of academic qualifications through the prism of public international law, contending that such recognition depends in part on the credibility of the institution awarding the qualification. This book is the first study to be written from a public international law perspective on this topic. The first part of the book explores the relevant principles of public international law in relation to the recognition of academic qualifications. The second part contains regional treaties and the first ever global treaty prepared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on the recognition of qualifications concerning higher education.

American politics is a paradox of cynicism and adulation. This book explains the system’s complex inner workings through the “four Ps”: Philosophy, Pragmatism, Personality, and Profit—the constant clash between high ideals and self-interest.
