ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the role of global universities and globalizations in an age of global interdependence and cosmopolitanism. Competing agendas that result from actions and reactions to multiple globalizations are considered in relation to global citizenship education. The chapter discusses some of the challenges faced by universities in the context of globalization, and by extension the development and sustenance of global citizenship education for social transformation. The challenges of global citizenship education should consider the limits but also the possibilities of a networking society. The chapter highlights, albeit at a highly generalized level, some of the issues and challenges that are relevant to the way global citizenship education in higher education may be perceived, adopted and implemented regionally. Global citizenship education interacts with globalization and neoliberalism, key concepts which designate global movements that have come to define our era of global interdependence.
