Summary/Abstract: Higher education can be regarded as one of the most important factors of economic growth, and this is why measurement and evaluation of its performance and effectiveness is essential. From the beginning of the 2000s, global rankings of universities and colleges have become extremely popular. Yet how capable are these rankings of giving a ‘real’, comparative evaluation of any specific higher education institution? For an adequate answer here, one must first clarify what higher education competition actually means. The aim of this study is to give an interpretation of the various kinds of higher education competition and also to identify the main stakeholders in this market. It also has as its purpose a critical analysis of global rankings with their being regarded as sorts of ‘performance evaluators’.
