520 The different papers in this book discuss a range of
issues, with a common focus, namely the role of academic
institutions and societies in achieving the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development (SD).
The crucial challenge is how to achieve these goals. To
this end, this book attempts to demonstrate clearly such
challenges and outline possible solutions and
recommendations. Global partnership and collaboration will
be required. Universities are greatly underutilized and
are potentially powerful vehicles for development anywhere,
but more so in developing countries. They should be
employed as vital partners in the development process.
This book critically examines those factors, frameworks
and paradigms that would enable universities and
institutions of higher education to contribute more fully
in achieving the MDGs and SD. It is our hope that this
book will help to stimulate debate amongst scholars,
researchers and policy-makers.
