This book explores some of the major forces and changes in higher
education across the world between 1945 and 2015. This includes the
explosions of higher education institutions and enrollments, a
development captured by the notion of massification. There were
also profound shifts in the financing and economic role of higher
education reflected in the processes of privatization of
universities and curricula realignments to meet the shifting
demands of the economy. Moreover, the systems of knowledge
production, organization, dissemination, and consumption, as well
as the disciplinary architecture of knowledge underwent significant
changes. Internationalization emerged as one of the defining
features of higher education, which engendered new modes,
rationales, and practices of collaboration, competition,
comparison, and commercialization. External and internal pressures
for accountability and higher education's value proposition
intensified, which fuelled struggles over access, affordability,
relevance, and outcomes that found expression in the quality
assurance movement.
