It is based on a comparative research project (spring 2013-spring 2015) investigating the phenomena of mergers involving higher education institutions across the Nordic countries ? Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. The study involved close to 30 scholars from the region, and aimed at shedding critical light on, and providing novel contributions around, the following key aspects: Conceptual and theoretical approaches ? strengths and limitations - towards the study of the phenomena of mergers in higher education; Historical developments, leading to significant structural changes in the domestic higher education landscape, and, in turn, how mergers have been used as a policy/institutional mechanism to foster adaptation to a new external environment at the local, national, regional and international levels; The complex dynamics inherent to merger processes by undertaking an in-depth investigation of a series of selected case studies, with a particular focus on the ?black-box? associated with the implementation process; The implications of the findings as regards future policy and strategic endeavours, theory development and future research agenda. . 410 0$aHigher Education Dynamics,$x2215-1923 ;$v46 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 676 $a378.1009047 702 $aPinheiro$b Rómulo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGeschwind$b Lars$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAarrevaara$b Timo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254971203321 996 $aMergers in Higher Education$92504079 997 $aUNINA
