The global economic crisis has required governments across the
globe to reconsider their spending priorities. It is within this
demanding economic context that higher education systems have been
steadily restructured with in many ways the English model in the
vanguard of change. This book focuses in particular upon the policy
of removing almost entirely public support for the payment of
student fees. This has emerged from a steady process of change,
which has broad political support and is underwritten by the idea
that higher education is now seen more as a private than a public,
good. As this shift has occurred (not a new innovation but rather a
return to what once prevailed as more of a market in English higher
education) so the relationship between government and the higher
education has evolved with the latter now attempting to steer the
development of the system through a state-regulated market. The
book has a strong comparative dimension that draws upon US higher
education to illustrate both the possible advantages and potential
hazards to the marketization strategy. It concludes that any such
strategy needs to be accompanied by state regulation if it is to
function effectively, particularly to stimulate price competition,
encourage innovation from new entrants, and provide consumer
protection for students paying high fees.
