The Key Issues in Higher Education series aims to raise both
awareness and the
standards of debate on the fundamental issues that lie at the very
heart of higher
education and intends to assist national and international
debate.
Higher Education and Sustainable Development examines whether it
is actually possible to mandate, plan, monitor and evaluate the
higher education sector s route to the production of educated,
innovative, independent, self-determining, critical individuals
while at the same time achieving a range of wider policy goals on
the side. This book examines this question in the context of a
particular international policy issue
sustainable development which is now seen across the globe as a
necessary and
urgent response to a range of social and environmental issues that
threaten the
integrity of the biosphere and human well being. The book concludes
that the idea of sustainable development holds both opportunities
and dangers for universities as they pursue their proper role in a
free society.
Illustrated by seven in-depth case studies this book considers
the complex
inter-relationships of a free society and sustainable development
in the context of higher education, and aims to makes
recommendations for realistic future
development. It is essential reading for the international higher
education research community, policy-makers, university managers,
students and non-Governmental organizations in the development,
environment and social policy sectors.
