dc.descriptionThis book sets out to clarify, and contribute to, a particular worldwide debate about the nature and purpose of higher education. It asks whether it is possible for higher education to produce educated, innovative, independent, self-determining, critical individuals while at the same time achieving wider policy goals. The book examines this question in the context of a contemporary international policy issue – sustainable development – which is now seen by many across the globe as a necessary and urgent response to a range of social and environmental issues that threaten the integrity of the biosphere and human well-being. For some, indeed, the pursuit of sustainable development is the most pressing global issue of the coming 50 years, since it may very well be argued that long-term issues of social injustice, environmental degradation and resource scarcity provide the underpinnings of faster-moving events such as wars, famines and natural disasters that are more likely to capture the daily headlines.-
