Abstract
This chapter explores how regional findings on Central and Eastern Europe’s private higher education legitimacy look in global perspective. The theme is two-fold. On one side, the region’s private higher education has in many respects functioned under a cloud of dubious legitimacy. On the other side, it has attained important and sometimes distinctive and multiple forms of legitimacy. These twin statements are comparative, in keeping with the chapter’s purpose of highlighting similarities and differences between Central and Eastern Europe and other regions.
