This book explores how universities as organizations influence and
construct the production of academic elites and elitist
institutions. It analyzes the role played by the reorganization of
higher education (HE) institutions, stimulated by new
performance-based narratives aimed at building attractiveness
towards stakeholders such as governments, prospective employers,
academics, and students. Based on American, European, and Asian
case studies of HE systems and institutions considered at various
scales, the volume analyzes the consequences of increasing
competition between HE institutions which are facing challenges
such as the internationalization of higher education supply, the
shortage of public resources and the structural changes of labor
market demands. It argues that policy discourses and tools, as well
as assessment devices such as rankings and accreditation,
incentivize HE institutions to develop positioning strategies that
contribute to stratification and the production of elites. It will
be of great interest to students and researchers in the fields of
higher education, sociology, and education policy.
