This ground-breaking Handbook examines the evolution of university
autonomy and governance by tracking the changing relationship
between higher education institutions and the state. Through unique
historical analyses, contributors provide important insights into
the position of students, academics, and universities in today’s
society, mapping potential future directions of travel for the
sector. Illustrating how governments have historically always tried
to exert some degree of control over universities, this Handbook
explores ways institutions have adapted to these changing
pressures. Contributors review the diverse societal roles played by
higher education institutions, including serving the Church,
training public bureaucrats, building the nation- state, preserving
national culture, promoting social mobility, and ensuring economic
competitiveness. They focus in particular on recent developments in
university governance, critically analysing the influence of
neoliberal politics, academic capitalism, and the knowledge society
on higher education. This Handbook will be an invaluable resource
for students and scholars of education economics, management,
policy and administration, as well as sociologists and political
scientists. It will also be essential reading for leaders and
administrators at higher education institutions seeking to design
and implement effective higher education policies.
