| Abstract
|
:
|
Anglo-Saxon universities particularly in the US, the UK and Australia have long been subject to, and responded to, market-based competition in higher education. This book argues that Continental and Nordic universities and higher education institutes face similar pressures that are leading to a structural transformation of the university sector.
