Résumé

L’économie politique de l’enseignement supérieur est marqué par une mondialisation et une régionalisation croissantes des activités. Dans ce contexte, un accent particulier est donné au rôle des universités comme moteurs de croissance économique et de développement économique et social national. Toutefois, la nature décontextualisée des pressions néolibérales mondiales créent de nouvelles préoccupations pour les universités et un lien manquant entre les contextes de production et d’utilisation des savoirs. Cet article explore ces questions dans un contexte comparatif, tirant des travaux empiriques effectués sur les politiques scientifiques régionales en Europe et considérant les implications pour les universités africaines dans leur effort pour jouer une gamme diverse de rôles scientifiques et civiques. Il est structuré en trois sections. D’abord il examine les pressions mondiales qui conduisent à un réexamen et à un redimensionnement de la science. Ensuite, il analyse les discours changeants autour de l’excellence, la pertinence et le contexte pour identifier une convergence dans les modèles de politiques scientifiques nationales. Finalement, il examine les implications pour l’ordre universitaire mondial, y compris les questions de stratifi- cation et de diversification et de la tension entre les attentes de l’enseignement supérieur et de ses capacités de satisfaction de ces attentes. C’est ce lien manquant qui doit être étudié si les objectifs et la capacité doivent être associés de manière plus réaliste pour plus d’efficacité.
