Aimed directly at those who aspire to be university leaders in these turbulent times, and written as an academic counterpart to Machiavelli's The Prince, The Academic Caesar explores four themes that are central to the contemporary university: its Caesar-leaders, its economics, its disciplines, and whether academics have a future in the universities.Drawing on a wealth of experience writing about the social epistemology of higher education,Steve Fuller makes a witty, robust and provocative contribution to theongoing debate about where the university has come from and where it is going.The AcademicCaesarwill prove a fascinating read for those seeking new insights into current crisis in higher education as well as researchers and academics interested in thesociology of leadership.
