Universities have been subjected to continuous government reforms
since the 1980s, to make them 'entrepreneurial', 'efficient' and
aligned to the predicted needs and challenges of a global knowledge
economy. Under increasing pressure to pursue 'excellence' and
'innovation', many universities are struggling to maintain their
traditional mission to be inclusive, improve social mobility and
equality and act as the 'critic and conscience' of society. Drawing
on a multi-disciplinary research project, University Reform,
Globalisation and Europeanisation (URGE), this collection analyses
the new landscapes of public universities emerging across Europe
and the Asia-Pacific, and the different ways that academics are
engaging with them.
