Indo-French Educational Partnerships

This book examines the unexpected convergence between the higher education systems of India and France. This has resulted due to links between higher education investment and economic growth in the light of the knowledge triangle and the Lisbon strategy, which has recently been replaced by the Horizon 2020 scheme. The current state of Indo-French cooperation is highlighted and it is suggested that the prospective Indo-French knowledge management system will provide a competitive advantage in the contemporary knowledge economy. Marc Pilkington is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Burgundy, France. His interests are in heterodox monetary macroeconomics, and Indo-French higher educational partnerships.
