Embarking on a journey to Africa, Southeast Asia, South America and beyond, Critical Reflections on the Internationalisation of Higher Education in the Global South explores how postcolonial structures and global power dynamics are shaping the internationalisation of higher education. Challenging the Eurocentric status quo that has long dominated the discourse on internationalisation, this edited collection goes beyond mere discussions of student mobility to address the multifaceted potential that internationalisation holds, ranging from academic partnerships and collaborative research to scholarly publications. Drawing from case studies across the Global South, contributors interrogate not only conventional paradigms, but also pose vital questions. How can institutions in these regions partake equitably in the global exchange of knowledge? What steps can be taken to foster genuine and balanced collaborations between the Global South and North? As a compelling call to action, this research also examines how internationalisation can be a transformative force for the Sustainable Development Goals, breaking down traditional hierarchies and embracing a decolonised future for higher education. If you are involved in academia, policy-making or are simply curious about the complex features of internationalisation in the Global South, this work is your roadmap to deeper, more critical reflections on the internationalisation of higher education.

Ethical finance involves financial practices that consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors affecting a borrower and/or its assets. This approach extends beyond traditional financial metrics, aiming to align investments and lending with principles promoting sustainability, social responsibility, and effective governance.While previously confined to specialized finance providers and investors supporting environmentally or socially focused enterprises, this paradigm has shifted into the mainstream. According to the Global Ethical Finance Forum, the management of ethically driven assets worldwide has exceeded $27 trillion, indicating a growing recognition of the importance of integrating ESG factors and values into financial considerations.Individual and professional investors increasingly acknowledge the pivotal role played by ESG variables in determining risk and reward. In the evolving landscape of investment and finance, ethical standards have become the norm, offering crucial safeguards for informed investment and finance decisions. Instances where funds and lenders are perceived to neglect appropriate ESG considerations in their decision-making processes now face heightened scrutiny and questioning.The Emerald Handbook of Ethical Finance and Corporate Social Responsibility: A Framework for Sustainable Development presents a novel perspective on ESG considerations and the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for sustainable development. This approach carries global and enduring implications.

Positive education has grown and evolved, first as a discipline and then a perspective. Since its first wave of development as an application of positive psychology within education, where the focus was primarily on students, the second wave brought with it recognition of the importance of wellbeing for all those involved in education too. Now entering the third wave, with this comes positive education not as a discipline but as a perspective. In particular, a perspective which embraces the challenges of culture and diversity alongside already positively oriented programs, structures and frameworks within education that, with continued refinements, can bring out the best of what could be (Kern & Wehmeyer, 2021).With this third wave still in its infancy, therefore, Positive Education at all Levels brings the reader to where we are today, showcasing positive education across all three levels of UK education: primary, secondary, and tertiary. With chapters for parents as well as for educators, this book will be of interest for all those involved in positive education, including those who may be learners of positive education too.
