Media Review: The University and the Global Knowledge Society
这篇书评介绍了弗兰克和迈耶的著作，该书阐述了大学在全球的扩张及其对知识社会的影响，并探讨了扩张是否已达顶峰。
In their book, The University and the Global Knowledge Society, David Frank and John Meyer lead us through the astonishing worldwide expansion of the university. They spell out the societal and ideological conditions that have paved the way for the expansion and show how the university in turn has shaped a global knowledge society. The authors trace and explain the millennium-long development of universities, focusing particularly on the period since 1945. This period is divided into the high-modernity era and the post-cold war, hyper-modernity, era. A question that follows from this periodization is whether we now have seen the peak of university expansion and the global knowledge society. I will come back to this question below.
