The Globalisation Challenge for European Higher Education
Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften
978-3-631-67299-0 (ISBN)
The last decade has marked European higher education with particular dynamics. Today, after a decade of "connected" policy, national systems look much more convergent but new questions and dilemmas are emerging: about the nature and quality of higher education, about the real impact of recent reforms in different countries, and about higher education's future. The book examines the impact of Europe-wide and global developments on national higher education systems. The authors try in particular to place upfront issues of convergence and diversity, of equity and of the relationship between centres and peripheries in higher education. The book is an outcome of research collaboration between six institutes which developed a EuroHESC research proposal on the consequences of expanded and differentiated higher education systems.
