Description
This volume explores the complex relationships among universities, states, and markets throughout the Americas in light of the growing influence of globalization.
It offers a biting critique of neoliberal globalization and its anti-democratic elements.
In seeking to challenge the hegemony of neoliberal globalization, the authors highlight the ways in which corporate capitalism, academic capitalism, and increased militarization-both in the form of terrorism and in the international war against terrorism-are directing societies and institutions.
Throughout this volume, the contributors-led by Noam Chomsky, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Raymond Morrow, Sheila Slaughter, and Atilio Boron-argue that neoliberal globalization has changed the context for academic work, research and development, science, and social responsibility at universities.
They examine issues of access and social mobility, and argue that the recent push toward privatization limits the democratic and emancipatory possibilities of universities.
Finally, the book explores various forms of resistance and discusses globalization in terms of social movements and global human rights.
