Globalisation and Australian universities: policies and impacts

Explores how globalisation has affected Australian public policy in general and higher education policy in particular. Considers the impacts of globalisation on Australian universities, and examines the ways in which university leaders invoke the rhetoric of globalisation to set the foundations for institutional change, pursue the repositioning of their institutions, and to develop a new discourse for the sector. The effects of globalisation on Australia and its universities are seen to be significant, and to impact in both direct and indirect ways.
