Jay R. Dee, Liudvika Leišytė and Barend J.R. van der Meulen

Chapter 1 in Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education, 2023, pp 2-22 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides an integrative conceptualization of higher education transformation at three levels of analysis: the global field of higher education, higher education systems within specific geopolitical boundaries, and colleges and universities as organizations. We also note that higher education transformation is often precipitated by developments in three macro-level contexts, characterized by socio-political, technological, and market forces. The chapter then identifies the groups of actors who are involved in higher education transformation. Finally, the chapter discusses several challenges and tensions associated with higher education transformation. Some challenges are linked to the transformation process, while other tensions are associated with the outcomes of transformation.
