Globalism, then and now: The rise of international neoliberalism and the academic novel

Pages: 3 - 15

Language: eng

This article uses a longitudinal comparison to trace the development in higher education from an era of the “global campus” to a more fraught and harsher academic climate and relates it to the rise, beginning in the 1970s, of neoliberalism as a governing philosophy in the West. Examples from mostly Anglophone novels illustrate this change into a worldwide neoliberalism that is the new globalism and its effects in academia; the presence of neoliberalism in societies beyond the US and UK leads to speculation on its likely appearance in future academic novels.
