In times of rapid international political and economic change the
great universities of Europe and North America are being
transformed. Public expectations about access to higher education,
government concerns about the role that universities can play in
innovation and economic development, and the application of the
principals of market economics to the university systems of all
countries have created a new context for higher education.
Universities whose governance and organization have been among the
most stable and predictable in modern society are experiencing
unprecedented pressure for change. Social demands in Europe are
leading for the first time in history to a corporate form of
university, similar in structure to American institutions.
American universities are confronted with new levels of national
and international competition as well as new government
policies.
The papers of this volume are the outcome of the remarkable
process of discussions which took place during the 1995
international symposium on the future role of the university held
in Vienna, Austria. The papers have been thoughtfully revised to
reflect the insights and contributions of the participants at the
symposium and the editors have provided a synthesizing introduction
and conclusion. The respective chapters are rich in scholarly
insight regarding the complex intersection between public policy
and university organization.
