The Role of Universities in the Transformation of Societies

Abstract

This report looks at how universities handle contradictory functions in contexts of radical political and economic transformations in their host societies and within a global movement toward a knowledge-driven model of economic liberalism. It seeks to highlight both the roles universities have played in the orchestration and management of wider societal changes as well as the ways in which they have themselves been transformed by these wider processes. The report synthesizes the findings reported in a set of more specific national, institutional and thematic reports produced by the project in a range of countries.
