Due to dwindling resources and the ideology of privatization, universities are becoming more corporatized and managerial. The authors investigate the consequences of these changes on the lives of academics and analyze how globalizing practices such as managerialism, accountability, and employment flexibility penetrate different universities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGlobalization is a contested term. It exists in the form of an integrated world economy and global communication networks. Along with this material world, politicians have created a neoliberal ideology that exhorts nation states to open up their economies to free trade, reduce their public sector, and allow market forces to reshape their public agencies. In effect, this means a reduced role for government, lower taxes, and diminishing funds for public institutions like universities. The underlying thesis of this book is that globalization is not an inexorable force. All nations need to debate its consequences. The authors analyze how globalizing practices are penetrating universities. Are they creating a certain uniformity? Are academics adapting to or resisting particular globalizing practices? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe premise at the beginning of the study was that European universities were responding differently to globalizing practices than Anglo-American universities. This premise was confirmed as some universities saw certain globalizing practices as inevitable and other universities resisted them. The authors asked academics and key managers how their funding had changed, and which accountability mechanisms their universities adopted. They also investigated the use of the Internet in their teaching. They found differences between European and American universities in their approach to permanent employment. The French and Norwegian universities were maintaining many of their traditional values and only the Dutch university showed some movement towards the globalizing practices, which American universities were more readily adopting.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJAN CURRIE is Associate Professor, School of Education, Murdoch University, Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRICHARD DEANGELIS is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Flinders University, Australia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHARRY DE BOER is Research Associate at the Center for Higher Education Policy Studies, University of Twente, the Netherlands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJEROEN HUISMAN is Senior Lecturer at the Center for Higher Education Policy Studies, University of Twente, the Netherlands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCLAUDE LACOTTE is Maitre de Conferences in the Faculty of Sciences and Applied Languages at the Université d'Avignon, France.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 9.48 x 6.42 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 30, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43810533310599,"sku":"9780897898683","price":122.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/LJcmBXXRXH9780897898683.webp?v=1770349998","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/globalizing-practices-and-university-responses-european-and-anglo-american-differences-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
