Description

Explore the evolving landscape of higher education with Academic Capitalism: Universities in the Global Struggle for Excellence. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series, this book examines how the rise of the entrepreneurial university affects the global academic field. As universities compete for progress and recognition, the concept of academic capitalism begins to shape how scientific knowledge is pursued. The text looks at how the struggle for excellence is being redefined by new economic realities. This shift creates a sharpening institutional stratification within the academic world, driven by the changing nature of how institutions operate on a global scale. Readers will gain insight into how the shrinking of block grants and the growing importance of competitive funding contribute to this stratification. By analyzing the competition between scientists and the institutional pressure for funds, this work provides a deep look into the structural changes currently reshaping modern universities and the global scientific community.
