This volume investigates how global economic forces, neoliberal policies, and shifting power structures redefine the role and function of higher education institutions in the twenty-first century. Edited by a team of prominent scholars in education and sociology, the book compiles diverse research papers that analyze the intersection of knowledge production, marketization, and institutional governance. The contributors employ critical theory and comparative analysis to examine how universities are being reshaped by global capital, international trade agreements, and changing state expectations.
