Academia is an important site for producing knowledge, which is crucial in driving economies and societies around the globe at the beginning of the 21st century. Yet surprisingly little is known about how contemporary universities are shaped by the formal and multiple demands they face from national policy requirements, particularly performance measurement. This book's starting point is that there are three main shaping forces that govern academia - intellectual curiosity, disciplinary traditions and research policy. Bringing these three levels together into a framework, this book examines how academia is governed, both formally and informally, bridging the different aspects of governing knowledge networks through a large multi-country study. Author Jenny Lewis uses a large empirical study of academics in three countries (Australia, Britain and New Zealand) and in the broad disciplinary areas of the humanities, social sciences and sciences, to demonstrate the analytical framework's application. The book also offers some needed directions on what policy should and can do, providing a snapshot of contemporary academic life in different disciplines and in different countries, from the perspective of academics on the frontline.
Professor Jenny M Lewis is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia. She has published extensively in governance and policy journals, and her previous books include: Health policy and politics: Networks, ideas and power (2005), and Connecting and cooperating: Social capital and public policy (2010). She is the recipient of the 2012 Kooiman prize for best article in Public Management Review, with her colleague, Mark Considine.
