This volume presents the most comprehensive international
discussion of the role of markets in higher education ever
published. It reflects on both the political and economic
implications of the rising trend towards introducing market
elements in higher education. The book draws together many leading
international scholars in the economic and policy analysis of
higher education to explore different theoretical perspectives and
present new empirical evidence on market mechanisms in higher
education in several Western countries.
The authors present a dispassionate and ideologically neutral
view of the advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of
market-mechanisms in higher education and of its effects in terms
of access, equity, quality of provision, student learning, research
and scholarship, and so on. And they balance the performance of
markets in higher education against the alternative of more, or a
different kind of, governmental intervention.
The book will be of interest to researchers, university staff,
students and government professionals working in the areas of
higher education, comparative education, economics and public
policy.
