Recent years have seen the strengthening of a discourse that
emphasises the virtues of markets, competition and private
initiative, vis-a-vis the vices of public intervention in higher
education. This volume presents a timely reflection about the
effects this increasing marketization has been producing in many
higher education systems worldwide. The various chapters of this
volume analyse the impact of markets at the system level, with
significant attention being devoted to the changes in modes of
regulation, the strengthening of aspects such as privatization and
inter-institutional competition in higher education systems, and
the closer interaction between higher education and its economic
environment. Several of the contributors devote attention as well
to the implications of market forces for institutional change,
notably regarding issues such as mission, organizational structure
and governance and the way marketization is affecting the internal
distribution of power and the definition of priorities. Finally,
the volume includes several chapters focusing on the different
markets of higher education, such as the academic labour market,
undergraduate and postgraduate education, and research markets.
Altogether these chapters provide important insights concerning the
many national and institutional contexts in which the marketization
of higher education has been taking place around the world.
