Inayatullah and Gidley draw together essays by leading academics from a variety of disciplines and nations on the future of the university, weaving historical factors with emerging issues and trends such as globalism, virtualization, multiculturalism, and politicization. They attempt to get beyond superficial debate on how globalism and the Internet as well as multiculturalism are changing the nature of the university and thoughtfully assess these changes.
