As we near the end of the century, there can be no doubt that the
increasingly global political economy has affected the ways in
which universities are governed; the daily lives of academics have
been altered as well. In this new volume, editors Jan Currie and
Janice Newson consider globalization as combining a market ideology
with a corresponding material set of practices drawn from the world
of business. Issues of managerialism, privatization, and
accountabilityuall central values in businessuhave become primary
for universities and their administrators as well. The selections
in this book help illustrate the editorsAE contentions that
globalization presents clear disadvantages as well as benefits to
all citizens. GlobalizationAEs effects on higher education are not
likely to be uniform nor are the outcomes an inevitable process.
The future of the university as a place where society can examine
itself critically is at stake and this volume will be a strong
contributor to the debate. Universities and Globalization will be
of great interest to those interested in higher education, the role
of the university, and global institutions and practices.

This significant book explores the connections between the
university and industry, and how these prevent the production and
dissemination of knowledge beneficial to society as a whole. The
authors also develop a new 'vision' for the university, opposed to
both the 'ivory tower' concept and that of the institution as an
adjunct to industry. They make a case for the transfomational role
of the university, and for much needed public debate on the role of
the university as a true public institution.
