The Culture of Academe

摘要

As PETER MAASSEN NOTES, in recent years higher education studies have largely concentrated on governmental "steering" of the academic enterprise. In his view, they have hardly touched upon the impact of policies on the curriculum, the research agendas and the knowledge rules or epistemologies which govern the creation and transmission of knowledge. Maassen's book is an attempt to analyse in a particular way the effects of governmental steering on academic culture, that is, the values and beliefs of The academic staff of universities.
