The Origins and Effects of the Unified National System of Higher Education in Australia

该项目将提供第一个系统和充分记录的起源，目的，作者，设计，谈判，运输和实施的变化介绍了澳大利亚高等教育从1987年到1992年。此外，它将参照这一时期政策文件中提出的改革目的和理由，评价这些改革的近期和长期影响。该项目将对澳大利亚四所大学进行详细的个案研究，追踪它们如何受到建立全国统一高等教育系统的影响。对约翰·道金斯部长策划的变化的描述和分析将有助于为未来的高等教育政策辩论提供信息。

The project will provide the first systematic and fully documented account of the genesis, aims, authorship, design, negotiation, carriage and implementation of the changes introduced to Australian higher education from 1987 to 1992. In addition, it will evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of these changes in reference to the purpose and rationale of the reforms as presented in the policy documents of the period. The project will undertake detailed case studies of four Australian universities, tracing how they were affected by the creation of the Unified National System of higher education. This account and analysis of the changes orchestrated by Minister John Dawkins will help inform future higher education policy debate.
