The edited volume "Higher Education Reform: Looking Back – Looking Forward" presents a critical examination of the transformations in higher education over the past few decades, highlighting the impact of neoliberal policies such as marketization and privatisation. The book compiles diverse perspectives on the future of higher education, revealing tensions between institutional traditions and broader socio-economic pressures. Its contributions underscore the necessity of understanding historical contexts to inform future reforms, particularly in light of global trends like massification and internationalisation.
