This impressive, wide ranging collection is built around the theme
that higher education, as well as inspiring change, should,
especially among students, build capacity to adapt well to change.
The editors and contributors challenge university managers to seize
the agenda related to these new roles, in particular to devise new,
innovative, and relevant management strategies only then can
universities contribute meaningfully to change and continuity in
contemporary societies. As this volume is a rich source of
information and offers insights on many diverse systems of higher
education and their challenges in governance and management, it
will become required reading for higher education specialists.
*S. Gopinathan, Adjunct Professor, National University of
Singapore*
If the dramatic growth of higher education is to be a resource for
democracy, and not just a stream of corporate profit, we need to
think and act at the level of whole systems. This Handbook presents
analysis and information on that larger scale. It will be valuable
for all concerned with the role of the state, global difference,
strategies of change, and social justice in advanced education.
*Raewyn Connell, author of The Good University*
