"In 14 chapters and 275 pages, the reader gets an overview of current developments within higher education at a global level. (…) On the whole, the book is firmly positioned within the mainstream of academic thinking and practice. It is interesting and informative". - <b>C. Brink</b> (2021). An all too promising title. <i>Th&ma</i> (1), 63-64. <br />
<br />
"This edited volume raises questions about higher education’s responsibility toward students and staff and its intended impact on society, offering
policy makers, professors, practitioners, and researchers an opportunity to review and analyze the integral role that higher education plays in society.[...] The collection compiles essays from a variety of distinguished scholars, educators, and policy makers, each of whom brings a unique perspective to the discussion.[...] This book should be read by anyone seeking to better understand the expected roles and responsibilities of higher education". N. A. Powers, in <i>CHOICE</i>, 58 (10), 2021.

The evolving societal, political and economic landscape has led to increased demands on higher education institutions to make their contribution and benefits to society more visible, and in many cases with fewer public resources. This book contributes to the understanding of the responsibilities of Higher Education and the challenges posed to the production and circulation of knowledge. It raises questions about the role of higher education in society, its responsibility towards students and staff, and regarding its intended impact. The book brings together a range of topical papers, and a diversity of perspectives: scientific investigations of reputed scholars, critical evidence-based papers of third space professionals, and policymakers’ perspectives on the daily practice and management of higher education institutions and systems. The variety of both content and contributors elevates the richness of the book and its relevance for a large audience.

Contributors are: Victor M. H. Borden, Lex Borghans, Bruno Broucker, Hamish Coates, Gwilym Croucher, Lisa Davidson, Mark Engberg, Philipp Friedrich, Martina Gaisch, Solomon Gebreyohans Gebru, Ton Kallenberg, Kathi A. Ketcheson, Lu Liu, Alfredo Marra, Clare Milsom, Kenneth Moore, Roberto Moscati, Marjolein Muskens, Daniela Nömeyer, Attila Pausits, Svetlana Shenderova, Wafa Singh, Chuanyi Wang, Denyse Webbstock, Gregory Wolniak, and Jiale Yang.
