In 2010, it was renamed 'the European Higher Education Area', it was expanded. It now attracts the interest of many countries around the world. Without sanctions, it has transformed the structure of higher education in its member states, to allow comparability of their higher education outcomes and encourage increased mobility between them. Increasingly, it has encouraged the use of learner-centred methods of teaching. It now attempts to further other democratic social objectives as well. Despite growing authoritarianism and populism in some of its member states, it may yet survive because of their strong motivation to pursue economic development through increased technological and innovative capacity. This book sets this extraordinary phenomenon in its historical and political context. After describing the underpinnings and the development of the central Bologna Process itself, four contrasting country case studies - Germany, Russia, England, Wales - illustrate some of the varying responses adopted when faced with a similar framework. The book will appeal to those interested in the social and political contexts in which higher education is set, as well as practitioners and researchers. 606 $aBologna process (European higher education) 606 $aEducation, Higher$zEurope 606 $aEducation$xEducational Policy & Reform$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aEducational strategies & policy$2bicssc 615 0$aBologna process (European higher education) 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 7$aEducation$xEducational Policy & Reform$xGeneral. 615 7$aEducational strategies & policy. 676 $a378.4 700 $aMarquand$b Judith$01505807 702 $aScott$b Peter$f1946- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796900203321 996 $aDemocrats, authoritarians and the Bologna process$93735672 997 $aUNINA
