Abstract: We explore the regional engagement of universities in non-core regions in a Global South context and uncover how new universities form and institutionalize regional ties. Through case studies of five new universities in India, we identify three routes – personal, organizational and brokered – through which new universities form regional ties, and four logics – incrementalism, social responsibility, legitimation and rationalization – through which these ties become embedded. We unpack and combine each of the routes and logics into a framework that explains how new ties are formed and developed between a new university and its surrounding non-core region.
