Leadership and cooperation in academia focuses on the place and the role of universities in different societies, including their stakeholders and pressured to change. Answering these questions requires that academics and professional managers in universities think about their work, its value and organization. The book highlights the need for space and stimulus to reflect on the responsibilities, roles and expectations that they identify for themselves, and that other place upon them-then, they might be better able to understand and to act. Similarly, policy makers and higher education commentators need the space and stimulus to reflect on the role of universities.
