title = "Conclusion: Promoting Synergy through Symmetry",
abstract = "Although not a panacea, transnational higher-education partnerships, or THEPs, offer immense potential for improving living conditions for people in the South and the North through new and enhanced research and sustainable-development contributions. At the same time, “partnership remains an evolving concept and practice” (Brinkerhoff 2002, p. 176). In The Transnationally Partnered University: Insights from Research and Sustainable Development Collaborations in Africa, we have unveiled dimensions of THEP asymmetry and highlighted evidence of and further opportunities for symmetry at each stage of the process of partnering. We devote the bulk of our concluding chapter to suggestions for advancing symmetry in THEPs that engage Southern universities.",
