Public Money & Management (PMM) wishes to stimulate debate about two quite distinct and rather new challenges that we have recognized in the context of what is already a turbulent time for higher education (HE) in many countries. The two challenges create significant opportunities for those willing to address them. They are the internationalization of HE teaching and research and the privatization of the HE market. These challenges make significant demands on managers and management of colleges and universities, as well as on policy-makers in the sector.

PMM will be publishing a themed issue on the internationalization and privatization of higher education in January 2013 (Vol. 33, No. 1) to promote understanding of the opportunities to develop the new solutions that are needed in nations struggling with the costs of providing higher education to a larger and more diverse population who must engage in lifelong learning.

We invite contributions that consider the implications of these changes and the opportunities they provide. Internationalization articles on teaching could include recruiting international students, validation and franchising, overseas centres and campuses, consortia of universities, and the growth of 'regional hubs'. In terms of the research agenda, PMM is interested in international collaboration and sources of funding. Contributions on privatization could look at public–private partnerships, privatization of non-core (and some core) functions, outsourcing, use of private finance, and the emergence of private providers

 

PMM publishes main articles, new developments and contributions to debate. Main articles (up to 5250 words) must meet high standards of intellectual argument, evidence and understanding of practice in public management. They are double-blind refereed by both an academic and a practitioner. New developments (2750 words) focus on the evolution of contemporary public service policy, management or practice and convey the potential or actual impact of change in a detached, informed and authoritative way. These articles are not normally refereed, but are subject to editorial scrutiny. Debate articles (1000 words) are personal statements about topical issues, expressing an argument, supported by examples or evidence. They, too, are subject to editorial scrutiny. See http://www.cipfa.org.uk/pt/pmm/ for information about PMM.

 

The themed issue will be edited by Professors Jane Broadbent and Robin Middlehurst. Submissions are required to the managing editor ([log in to unmask]) by 31 March 2012.
