Includes bibliographical references and index.
1. Why the OECD? -- 2. Globalisation and changing educational policy -- 3. The OECD, globalisation and educational policy making: changing relationships -- 4.Ideological tension in the OECD's educational work -- 5. The Politics of educational indicators -- 6. From recurrent education to lifelong learning: the vocational education and training saga -- 7. Redefining university education -- 8. The OECD and educational politics in a changing world.
For the past quarter century, higher education has been high on the agenda of governments and central to the fortune of nations. Similarly, this same period has seen quite massive changes in direction, in the complexity of systems, in the underlying rationale which has accompanied such changes and in the sheer size of the enterprise in terms of students, staff and budgets, not to mention social and economic purpose. It is not surprising then that the study of higher education itself has broadened and now encompasses some 20 different disciplines, ranging from Anthropology through to Women's Studies, catch with its own particular paradigms, methodologies and perspectives.
