This volume presents the most comprehensive international
discussion of the role of markets in higher education ever
published. It reflects on both the political and economic
implications of the rising trend towards introducing market
elements in higher education. The book draws together many leading
international scholars in the economic and policy analysis of
higher education to explore different theoretical perspectives and
present new empirical evidence on market mechanisms in higher
education in several Western countries. The authors present a
dispassionate and ideologically neutral view of the advantages and
disadvantages of the introduction of market-mechanisms in higher
education and of its effects in terms of access, equity, quality of
provision, student learning, research and scholarship, and so on.
And they balance the performance of markets in higher education
against the alternative of more, or a different kind of,
governmental intervention.
