Globalization's effects on universities have been little examined.
"Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations" seeks to improve
understanding by deepening the analysis of how universities
contribute to economic growth and entrepreneurialism while also
contributing to strategic societal goals of equity and
redistributive justice. Editors Glen A. Jones, Patricia L.
McCarney, and Michael L. Skolnik have brought together a diverse
group of contributors to describe how internal and external forces
arising from globalization are exerting pressure to change the role
of higher education in society and how universities are dealing
with these pressures. The essays pay particular attention to
tensions associated with attempts to balance the economic with the
non-economic objectives of higher education, and between those who
celebrate the 'entrepreneurial university' versus those who lament
the new alignment between the university and the business community
as undermining the civic responsibility of the university and its
freedom of speech and critical inquiry. "Creating Knowledge,
Strengthening Nations" is a crucial addition to the debate on the
future of higher education.
