This book emphasizes the inherently democratic nature of education;
from those who practice in higher education institutions and are
involved in decision-making, to those questioning the methods of
reform processes in those institutions. As they are faced with
increasing pressures to restructure and change their organizations
in line with global institutional demands the foundations upon
which their leadership and governance are based are called into
question. This book takes a critical approach to understanding
higher education leadership and governance. The overarching
questions asked in this book are: how has higher education come to
be assembled in contemporary governance practices within the
context of global demands for reform and how are issues of justice
being taken up as part of and in resistance to this assemblage?
