Abstract	This chapter utilises the metaphor of the maze to investigate the context, both local and global, in which Western researchers find themselves, identifying managerialist mechanisms and language, and also academic capitalism, as key elements in the architecture framing their research. The process of examining this architecture draws attention to its consequences: a loss of academic freedom and ideals that results in reduced capacity for innovation and a shift of focus from public good to economic gain. Through this examination, the authors offer an explanation for many researchers’ experiences of increasing contradiction between personal goals and everyday experience, by uncovering the systematic and intentional framework that has constructed this contradiction.
