| Sumario: | This book explores the profound ways in which globalization and the knowledge economy have transformed higher education around the world. It offers an in-depth assessment of the theoretical foundations of academic capitalism, as well as new empirical insights into how the process of academic capitalism has played out. Chapters address academic capitalism from historical, transnational, national, and local perspectives. Each contributor offers fascinating insights into both new conceptual interpretations of and practical institutional and national responses to academic capitalism. Incorporating years of research by influential theorists and building on the work of Sheila Slaughter, Larry Leslie, and Gary Rhoades, this text provides a provocative update for understanding academic capitalism. The book will appeal to anyone trying to make sense of contemporary higher education. |
