The role, scale and expectations of higher education institutions
have changed dramatically in recent times as knowledge-intensity
has become a key determinant of economic competitiveness. Higher
education institutions face increasing pressure to demonstrate
their fitness to meet the needs of society and individuals.
Questions about the quality, performance and productivity of higher
education are central to these concerns, of relevance to society,
governments and students. This Handbook brings together a group of
international scholars to address these issues and propose how to
move beyond them. This Handbook is the first comprehensive
reference, laying out current research in the field, and bringing
it up-to-date with cutting-edge theoretical and empirical
contributions from leading international experts. Blending new
research with richly contextualised national and regional examples,
the authors give authoritative insights from around the globe on
how best to understand, assess and improve quality, performance and
accountability in higher education. This Handbook will become an
invaluable tool for practitioners in higher education and education
policy-making as well as researchers and students of social science
and public policy. Contributors include: K.S. Adeyemo, K.
