Beskrivning
Universities have been subjected to continuous government reforms since the 1980s, to make them 'entrepreneurial', 'efficient' and aligned to the predicted needs and challenges of a global knowledge economy. Under increasing pressure to pursue 'excellence' and 'innovation', many universities are struggling to maintain their traditional mission to be inclusive, improve social mobility and equality and act as the 'critic and conscience' of society. Drawing on a multi-disciplinary research project, University Reform, Globalisation and Europeanisation (URGE), this collection analyses the new landscapes of public universities emerging across Europe and the Asia-Pacific, and the different ways that academics are engaging with them.

Recensioner i media

"The book is a challenging approach to higher education studies and beyond. Dynamically questioning the relationship between the university and the dominant political economy at present, this book assumes a multidisciplinary approach and brings together macro and micro level analyses allowing the transformations in contemporary higher education to be mapped." * Antonio M. Magalhaes, University of Porto
