The article explores the different approaches being taken by Great Britain and Australia to address one common dilemma, namely, how to continue to invest in higher education to drive growth while its significance in the global economy shrinks. Australia is counting on a demand-driven places system, which will be launched in 2012, to boost local numbers and offset the decline in foreign students. Meanwhile, Great Britain's supply-side reforms focus on funding higher education on the cheap.
