This book provides analytical perspectives to address trends of change in academic careers at the individual, organisational and national levels. It brings together some of the best scholars from a number of different countries working in the field of higher education.’</i>

Many of the leading scholars of the field provide a rich variety of perspectives from many different contexts. This is a very impressive tour of academic work, relevant to researchers, practitioners and policymakers.’</i>
