Dr. Rajani Naidoo of the University of Bath explains how higher education is becoming increasingly market driven, thus becoming less interested in the common good. Dr. Naidoo gives advice to the Danish education system on what to prioritize and what to avoid.

Transnational agencies proclaim that the future lies in a global knowledge-based economy and society. They give universities and education a central role in driving all aspects of this economy. Through sociological, historical and ethnographic research this programme explores critically changes associated with the emergence of a global knowledge-based economy and society through three inter-related contexts:
1. Comparative inter/national policies
2. New forms of organisation and their pedagogies
3. Academic practices – university and higher education, research and knowledge dissemination
