The authors begin with an understanding that in order to explain the role of postsecondary education in society, they must locate systemic change. Drawing on documentary analysis and interviews, the focus is on how policy priorities are reflected in \"system\" behaviours: performance, funding arrangements, design, and structural components. Current theories about the liberal-democratic state, academic capitalism, and marketization inform discussions of the changing role of higher education in a globalized knowledge society. The book presents policy and education as a multidimensional exchange between the postsecondary community, policy makers, and the behaviour and performance of educational systems and concludes that higher education is a key actor in the restructuring of the state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Development of Postsecondary Education Systems in Canada\u003c\/i\u003e shows how higher education policy has been driven by a changing political and economic imperative and examines the contradictions and unintended consequences of education policy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors include Jean Bernatchez (Université du Québec à Rimouski), Robert Clift (PhD candidate, University of British Columbia), Donald Fisher (University of British Columbia), Glen A.
