In recent years most western democracies have experienced a shift
from elite to mass higher education, with the United States leading
the way. This text compares the experience of this very important
social change within different nation states. Whilst recognising
the critical global economic forces that appear to explain the
international nature of the change, it sees the issues as rooted
within different national traditions. There is a particular focus
upon the discourse of access, especially the political discourse.
The book addresses questions such as: How has expansion been
explained? Has expansion been generated by state intervention or by
a combination of economic and social forces? What are the forms of
political intervention? What points of agreement and conflict are
generated within the wider society by expanding access? Leading
academic experts explore the ways in which different systems of
higher education have accommodated mass access, constructing
comparative pictures and comparative interpretations and lessons in
an accessible and informative style. This book should be critical
reading for students in education, sociology and politics, as well
as policy-makers and academics.
