Reviews

For more than three decades, Simon Marginson has been widely regarded as one of the most perceptive and insightful analysts of the shifting geopolitics of higher education. The breadth of his scholarship is truly remarkable, addressing issues that range from the political economy of internationalisation to global science and research collaborations. In this timely collection of essays, he turns his critical gaze upon the challenges systems of higher education now confront to reimagine their purposes and governance within the context of increasing levels of complexity, upheaval, and volatility. -- Fazal Rizvi, Emeritus Professor, Universities of Melbourne Australia and USA.
