Higher Education Reform: Looking Back – Looking Forward

The central focus of this book is the concept of higher education reform in the light of an international and global comparative perspective. After decades of far-reaching reform, higher education around the world has profoundly changed and now has to face the challenges of the present. This volume takes a close look at these changes, the drivers of change, their effects and possible future scenarios.
In their contributions the authors discuss a variety of basic concepts : learning and teaching in higher education ; financing and quality assurance ; governance change ; massification vs. equity and equality ; internationalization and mobility, the implementation of lifelong structures in higher education.
