ItemThe devil’s in the detail; Guy Neave and comparative higher education(Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS), University of Twente, 2007)Professor Guy Neave held the Chair of Comparative Higher Education Policy Studies at the University of Twente and his most substantial contributions to the study of higher education arise from his comparative perspective.

ItemThe attractiveness of the Australian academic profession: a comparative analysis(LH Martin Institute, University of Melbourne & Australian Council for Educational Research & Educational Policy Institute, [2009])This briefing provides an analysis of challenges facing the sustainability and development of the academic workforce in Australia.
