Talks about higher education world-wide and in all its manifestations. This work deals with three broad sub-themes: university and development: anticipating change; universities and the international knowledge enterprise; and, academic freedom and university autonomy: pre-requisites for the university meeting its responsibilities.

Addresses the question of whether specific forms of government regulation are more effective than others in helping to solve the higher education crisis, by analysing the relationships between government and higher education in 12 states in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
