"This book provides empirically grounded insights into the causes, trajectories, and effects of a severe decline in university autonomy and the relationship to other dimensions of academic freedom by comparing in-depth country studies and evidence from a new global timeseries dataset. Drawing attention to ongoing discussions on standards for monitoring and assessment of academic freedom at regional and international organizations, this book identifies a need for clearer standards on academic freedom and a human rights-based definition of university autonomy. Further, the book calls for accompanying international oversight and the inclusion of criteria related to academic freedom in international university rankings. Five expert-authored case studies on academic freedom from diverse nations (Bangladesh, Mozambique, India, Poland, and Turkey) are included in the volume. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative evidence, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to the field and will be of great interest to scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of higher education, human rights, political science and public policy"-- Provided by publisher.

À la fois réflexion sur la notion de liberté académique et enquête sur les menaces qui la visent, l'ouvrage examine, d'une part, la signification de cette notion, consubstantielle à l'idée d'université moderne, et d'autre part, deux évènements historiques ? le maccarthysme aux États-Unis et Mai 68 en France - au cours desquels la liberté académique fut malmenée. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage porte sur les menaces actuelles à l'encontre de la liberté académique en évoquant la résurgence des anciennes menaces provenant de divers pouvoirs (politique, administratif et économique) et l'apparition de nouvelles menaces résultant de la lutte contre le terrorisme, de l'utilisation abusive d'internet, ou encore de la promotion des « causes identitaires ».
