  • About

Higher Education Policy in a Dynamic World examines how universities and higher education systems respond to the pressures of a rapidly changing world. Across case studies from Africa, England, Türkiye, India and Chile, contributors explore how policy is shaped by technological innovation, financial uncertainty, sustainability imperatives and demands for greater social inclusion.

Covering themes such as artificial intelligence and decolonisation, financial resilience, sustainability, disability inclusion and gender equity, the book highlights the complex processes through which policies are translated into institutional practice. It offers a nuanced and internationally informed account of the challenges, contradictions and possibilities facing higher education today.

Essential reading for scholars, students and policymakers, this volume provides fresh perspectives on the governance and future of higher education in dynamic times.
