The Handbook on the Politics of Higher Education reveals valuable
new perspectives for understanding higher education. Higher
education plays an ever-greater role in contemporary life, creating
innovation, skills, prosperity, and wellbeing, and is therefore of
increasing importance to understand. Crafted as a sophisticated
entry point, this Handbook takes a wide look at the topic, the
state of contemporary research, and future directions. An array of
expert international contributors examine important and contentious
issues such as who should pay, how to keep higher education
accountable, the assurance of quality, boosting productivity and
affordability, and the role of states and markets. Experts explain
how universities relate to states and societies, the political
economy of higher education, planning and resource allocation,
regulation and quality, and the politics of stakeholder interests.
Unpacking key issues for both researchers new to the sector and
experts alike, this topical Handbook will prove essential and
thought-provoking reading for government policymakers, social
science researchers, higher education executives, as well as
instructors of graduate courses. Contributors include: B. Cantwell,
