- Book 23 of 23: The Changing Academy – The Changing Academic Profession in International Comparative Perspective
This book addresses common themes relating to the teaching and research nexus in the knowledge-based society through historical, comparative and empirical perspectives. It analyzes traditions of academic systems and national initiatives, and other factors affecting the main characteristics of the teaching and research nexus in eleven case countries from Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
The book identifies key challenges of the academy, and trends in relation to the teaching and research nexus. The focus of case countries is on the attitudes and activities of the academy, as reported in the international comparative survey “The Academic Profession in the Knowledge-Based Society” (APIKS) in 2017-18. The data compared with previous international comparative survey “The Changing Academic Profession” (CAP) in 2007-08 in most chapters to make time series changes.
The book discusses the teaching and research nexus in the case countries similar to and different from those of reference countries drawing on findings from the international databanks of the two international comparative surveys and previous research.

About the Author
Futao Huang is professor at the Research Institute for Higher Education, Hiroshima University, Japan. He earned his BA, MA and PhD in Chinese universities. Before he came to Japan in 1999, he had taught in several Chinese universities. His major research fields are concerned with university curricular development, internationalization of higher education, academic profession, and higher education in East Asia. Since the late 1990s, he has published widely in Chinese, English and Japanese languages in many international peer-reviewed journals.
Timo Aarrevaara is a professor of Public Management at the University of Lapland since 2014, and has professional experience in public administration as well as in research and teaching. He has strong international higher education research links, and is a co-editor of Springer’s The Changing Academy Series and author or co-author of several papers and book chapters in series.
Ulrich Teichler has been research associate of the Max Planck Institute for Educational Research in Berlin, Germany, from 1965 to 1978, while also being awarded the Diploma in sociology and the Dr. phil. in educational sociology. From 1978 to 2013, he has been professor and director at the International Centre for Higher Education Research of the University of Kassel, Germany. His about 1,500 publications – mostly in the German and English languages with translations into almost 20 other languages - address primarily the relationships between higher education and the world of work, higher education systems in comparative perspective, international mobility and cooperation in higher education, the academic profession as well as the state of research on higher education.
