Abstract

Academic freedom is eroding, not just in authoritarian but also in democratic contexts. Novel challenges arising from geopolitical tensions and shifting political ideologies threaten academic freedom. The resurgence of “flying universities” as innovative institutional responses to these challenges draws attention to the need for coordinated policy responses across actors and contexts. Cross-regional and cross-disciplinary research is needed.
