Synopsis

What is happening to the work of academics worldwide? This book calls in the evidence (and the arguments) internationally on the way in which academic labour is being reconstructed, transformed, and reorganized in response to the global restructuring of capitalism. What is occurring is that not only are new sets of social relationships being forged in the workplace of academia, but new and complex paradoxes, dilemmas and contradictions are emerging. In all of this it is clear that there has been a major shift from indirect forms of control, to more ideological forms that work through the discourse of the corporatist notions of quality, excellence, outputs, efficiency, and effectiveness.
