Identifies developments in national politics, increases in student numbers and demands for increased efficiency as factors necessitating change. Outlines the ideas that universities are making cross‐sectoral alliances, lessening the distinction between university and non‐university sectors. Discusses a range of models and modes of integrating post secondary education into university education, using case examples for each of the model types. Concludes that the emerging comprehensive universities developed from strategic alliances are organisations that both learn and foster learning.
