Summary

"This volume presents the most comprehensive international discussion of the role of markets in higher education ever published. It reflects on both the political and economic implications of the rising trend towards introducing market elements in higher education. The book draws together many leading international scholars in the economic and policy analysis of higher education to explore different theoretical perspectives and present new empirical evidence on market mechanisms in higher education in several Western countries." "The book will be of interest to researchers, university staff, students and government professionals working in the areas of higher education, comparative education, economics and public policy."--BOOK JACKET.
