  • How did Australian scholars perceive the Bologna Process

    Jef Verhoeven, Kurt De WitARTICLEHigher Education Research &…2022

    The Bologna Process (BP) was used as an instrument to construct a European Higher Education Area that would be competitive in the world and to attract foreign students and academics to Europe. For a country such as Australia, this higher education innovation process constituted a possible challenge, especially since Australian HE is a marketized system relying on the influx of overseas students. The BP was, therefore, topic of a discussion spurre…

  • To Achieve the Same as the Others? Policy Preconditions for Successful Higher Education Governance

    Bruno Broucker, Jani Ursin et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Public…2022

    Higher Education (HE) Institutions in different European countries have been steered towards an increased level of quality and performance through a comparable market governance approach. Despite the comparability of the applied governance instruments, the question remains whether these also yield comparable results in different HE systems. Building on policy implementation studies, this article analyses the importance of policy preconditions for…

  • The delegitimation of student protest against market-oriented reforms in higher education

  • The Context Changes but the Divisions Remain

    Kurt De Wit, Jef C Verhoeven et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2003Cited by: 1References: 5

    Universities and colleges in Flanders (Belgium) were established with different missions but this binary system is now under pressure. Tendencies like the ‘vocational drift’ of universities and the ‘academic drift’ of colleges seem to be bringing the two tiers closer together. The new governmental legislation does not entirely prevent such developments. Examples in other countries do not point at a general trend towards a unified structure of hig…
