The economic crisis has accelerated expectations of an increased role in addressing economic and societal challenges while, at the same time, putting pressure on available finances. Broader trends such as shifting student demographics and expectations, globalisation and mobility and new ways of working with business have contributed to these increased pressures. In the light of these trends there have been moves, both from national or regional agencies and from individual institutions to respond by combining resources, either through collaborative arrangements or more fundamentally through mergers between two or more universities.  This volume seeks to draw upon recent and past experiences of mergers and associations short of a merger and to approach the subject both from a systemic level and from the perspective of individual institutions. Inevitably the two levels are interlinked but broadly speaking this distinction is used to separate Part 1, dealing with perspectives at the level of a nation and national system, although often illustrated by examples which extend the range of cases (for countries such as France, Sweden, Romania, Wales, China, South Africa), and Part 2, which takes us down to individual case-studies analysed in depth (in countries such as France, UK, Romania, Spain, Australia). These experiences of course also show responses to wider forces and initiatives but allow a more detailed insight into the specific rationales and the implementation issues involved in effecting a university merger. Within the sections the general flow is from large to medium to small European countries and then to non-European. The chapters of this volume tell stories and make contributions in their own right. An introductory chapter seeks to guide the reader by pointing out from the start some recurrent themes and tensions. In seeking to identify the phenomenon of university mergers, their causes and their consequences, a series of dichotomies are discussed: alliance vs merger; external vs internal motivation; education vs research; short-term vs long-term outcomes and assessment; and motivation and implementation. 606 $aHigher education 606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aInternational education  606 $aComparative education 606 $aHigher Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O13000 610 $aHigher Education 610 $aEducational Policy and Politics 610 $aInternational and Comparative Education 615 0$aHigher education. 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aInternational education . 615 0$aComparative education. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 676 $a378 700 $aCuraj$b Adrian$4edt$01224233 702 $aCuraj$b Adrian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGeorghiou$b Luke$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCassingena Harper$b Jennifer$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aEgron-Polak$b Eva$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131337003321 996 $aMergers and Alliances in Higher Education$93358290 997 $aUNINA
