Reviews for Academic Freedom 4
'This series constitutes a timely addition to continuing discourses about democratic development, human rights, civil society and human resource development. It finally disabuses anyone still harbouring any lingering romantic notions about intellectual ivory towers: conflict over 'academic' freedom is immediate, ubiquitous and dangerous.' - Canadian Journal of Development Studies
