Abstract

This article traces the influence of an important body of international literature on the development of post-apartheid policies in South African higher education and training. Its main focus is on the emergence of a new mode of knowledge production and its impact on higher education and training; however, questions of equity and economic development - and their interrelationship - are key themes implicit in the analysis.
