| Synopsis: |
Universities worldwide are experiencing rapid and substantial change. Will the universities of the 21st century be recognized as the institutions we know in the late 1990s? This text discusses the nature of universities emerging in different parts of the world, the conditions which shape and constrain them, their common features, and the main faultlines which define their difference. The 20 contributors from four continents address three major topics: what will count as important knowledge, how will it be organized, and how will it be researched and taught?; who will be the university's students, and how will access to and participation in our universities develop?; how will the management and organization of institutions change, how much autonomy will be appropriate at the levels of the individual, the department and the university, and what will be decided by the market or the state? Two themes pervade this book. The first is the recognition that higher education, like the economy, has become global; and the second is the role of technology (which is a significant enabler of global communication in higher education). |
