Review

'Providing a multi-level outlook on higher education transformation, The Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education is timely and useful as it identifies key aspects and methods of transformational change that leaders can apply to their own institutions. Through detailed analysis of the technological, socio-political and market forces that are currently transforming universities and colleges, chapters portray change within higher education as responsive to global academic challenges such as structural inequality, reductions in state funding and the pandemic-accelerated pace of digitalisation.' -- James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review'The book is timely and important. Different dimensions of the complex and at times confusing topic of higher education transformation are disentangled and discussed at various levels. It's of particular value that the often neglected relations between these dimensions and levels are also illuminated.' -- Georg Krücken, International Center for Higher Education Research, University of Kassel, Germany'A state-of-the-art Research Handbook on a key institution of our societies. It is a must read for understanding the multiple dynamics of deep change in higher education systems and institutions. Conceptually and empirically rich, multiple perspectives from around the globe highlight the drivers, actors, processes, and effects of transformation in higher education.' -- Jürgen Enders, University of Bath, UK'This insightful Research Handbook critically addresses the promises and perils of the transformation of higher education. Grappling with the global, national and local continuities and entrenched interests reflected in higher education alongside the drivers of transformation, it discusses worldwide trends in the direction of privatization, the limits of diversity frames, the challenges of global templates, and growing inequalities within and between countries.' -- Francisco O. Ramirez, Stanford University, US'This inspirational book explores the local and global dynamics of university transformation which doesn't only emerge from management initiatives but from grassroots staff engagement and outside companies too. The richness and scope of the book is such that academics, students, manager-academics and policy-makers will all find great ideas that support exciting, democratic, student-focused and inclusive transformations.' -- Rosemary Deem, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK'An essential book to update one's knowledge and analytical understanding of the worldwide most recent higher education transformations. From digitalization to new forms of institutional governance, the authors explore the concrete effects of change at individual, institutional and systemic levels, as well as the resistances counterbalancing them.' -- Christine Musselin, SciencesPo and CNRS, France'Change and transformation are often taken for granted and few scholars take up the challenge to unpack these concepts. This eclectic collection with thoughtful analyses and clear delineation of key actors involved will change our understanding of transformation in higher education.' -- Jeroen Huisman, Ghent University, Belgium
