Abstract:
This paper is not a debate with Castells in the sense of a dispute. Rather, it is an attempt to reflect on some of the implications of Castells' work on globalisation for higher education. The first section attempts to show that globalisation is a very different phenomenon from Internationalisation, with vastly different implications. The second section explores some of the challenges facing South African higher education from the perspective of global developments.
