Education Without Boundaries: Global Governance, Digital Transformation, and Inclusive Futures offer a rigorous, SDG 4–aligned exploration of higher education in an era of digital transformation, global mobility, and artificial intelligence. Bringing together interdisciplinary scholarship, the volume examines governance reforms, multilateral policy frameworks, digital political economy, accessibility, intersectionality, Indigenous knowledge systems, prison education, and ethical futures of
learning. Engaging global debates while rooted in local and civilisational contexts, it critically interrogates whether boundary-less education advances equity or reproduces inequality. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and institutional leaders, this book reimagines education as globally connected, ethically grounded, and human-centred.
