It examines how and why Qatar has borrowed the American model of higher education, in light of the issues and challenges of educational transfer and implementation at Education City in Doha. The paper also considers Qatari efforts to resist, adapt and modify the borrowed model within the local context to make the borrowed model their own.  This approach ascribes agency to policymakers/leaders in Qatar, and shifts the focus of scholarly attention toward the motivations and objectives that guide their partnerships with the American universities at Education City, as part of Qatar’s national education reform initiative. Finally, the paper considers the broader implications for the future of educational transfer of the American model of higher education in the Gulf region, in light of the exponential growth in the number of foreign branch campuses operating or opening worldwide.}, pages = {183--190}, title = {When the Borrower Becomes the Boss: The Dynamics of Educational Transfer in Qatar}, year = {2022} }
