This volume considers how current transitions in postsecondary
education are impacting Higher Education (HE) institutions and
subjects in a number of Northern nations, as well as how these
transitions are indicative of the wider shift from the welfare to
the market state. The university is now considered a key site for
training and wealth generation in the so-called 'knowledge economy'
that operates in a globalising, high tech world. Further, these
transitions are underpinned by neo-liberal economic ideas that
assume that the public sector is a drag on the economy unless it is
subject to the rules, regulations and assumptions that govern the
private sector. This excellent volume - an important contribution
to Education as well as Economics and Politics - furthers our
understandings of universities as marketable entities as part of
the globalized economy.
