      abstract = {This book explores new and distinctive forms of higher  vocational education across the globe, and asks how the  sector is changing in response to the demands of the 21st  century. These new forms of education respond to two key  policy concerns: an emphasis on high skills as a means to  achieve economic competitiveness, and the promise of open  access for adults hitherto excluded from higher education.  Examining a range of geographic contexts, the editors and  contributors aim to address these contexts and highlight  various similarities and differences in developments. They  locate their analyses within the various political and  socio-economic contexts, which can make particular reforms  possible and achievable in one context and almost  unthinkable in another. Ultimately, the book promotes a  critical understanding of evolving provisions of higher  vocational education, refusing assumptions that policy  borrowing from apparently successful countries offers a  straightforward model for others to adopt.
