Higher education governance and policy: an introduction to multi-issue, multi-level and multi-actor dynamics

Meng-Hsuan Chou; Jens Jungblut; Pauline Ravinet; Martina Vukasovic

Abstract This thematic issue introduces the multifaceted nature of contemporary public policy – its multi-level, multi-actor and multi-issue features – using the case of higher education policies from around the world. To do so, this introduction first describes how higher education as a policy sector should be garnering far more attention from scholars interested in political, economic and social transformation. A framework for identifying and accounting for how the ‘multi-s’ characteristics configure and re-configure public policy is then introduced. Next, this thematic issue’s contributions are summarized with highlights of how they bring to life the different ‘multi-s’ features. This introduction concludes with a discussion of what the proposed framework of the ‘multi-s’ offers to studies of higher education policy coordination. In so doing, the objectives of this thematic issue are to highlight what the case of higher education policy coordination offers to studies of public policy and to initiate a dialogue between all social scientists and practitioners interested in the increased complexity of governing, producing and using knowledge today.

The Rise of ‘Higher Education Regionalism’: An Agenda for Higher Education Research

Meng-Hsuan Chou; Pauline Ravinet

Nation states have traditionally played central roles in the governance of higher education policies, but in recent decades the world’s regions and organizations are seen to be increasingly involved in this process. The rise of this phenomenon that we depict as ‘higher education regionalism’ is related to two different dynamics: (1) the renewal of regional cooperation — in all fields — following the emergence of a multipolar world since the end of Cold War and (2) the international competition to transition towards ‘knowledge-based’ economies and the role that research and higher education sectors play in this process.

Higher education regionalism in Europe and Southeast Asia: Comparing policy ideas

Meng-Hsuan Chou; Pauline Ravinet

Abstract Regional cooperation in the higher education policy sector has been on the rise throughout the last decades. In this article, we compare and analyse two instances of higher education regionalisms (i.e. political projects of higher education region creation) in Europe and South-East Asia from an ideational perspective. In so doing, we engage with and challenge the diffusion argument common in both European higher education studies (‘Bologna Process export thesis’) and new comparative regionalism. Using publicly accessible documents from regional bodies active in higher education policy coordination, and 53 semi-structured interviews with key policy actors involved in these developments, we identify the policy ideas of European and South-East Asian higher education regionalisms, and consider whether the extant models of regional cooperation and the knowledge discourse affected their evolution. Our findings indicate that the ‘Bologna Process export thesis’ and the diffusion assumptions of comparative regionalism are too simplistic and misleading. We conclude with suggestions for scholars interested in new comparative regionalism.

The emergent terrains of ‘higher education regionalism’: how and why higher education is an interesting case for comparative regionalism

Meng-Hsuan Chou; Pauline Ravinet

ABSTRACT The introduction of regional political initiatives in the higher education sector symbolizes one of the many aspects of the changing global higher education landscape. Remarkably, these processes have generally escaped comparative scrutiny by scholars researching higher education policy cooperation or regional integration. In this article, we demonstrate how and why higher education policy cooperation is an interesting case to study through the lens of comparative regionalism. To do so, we describe the emerging debate on comparative regionalism in EU studies. We explain what has led to this call to broaden analytical perspectives in examining regional integration and how it may be useful for scholars working in the higher education field to engage with this new research direction. In setting out this research agenda, we also spotlight the difficulties in operationalizing comparative regionalism for higher education studies and suggest ways forward.

On Principles, Europe and Higher Education: Reflections on European Higher Education as an Intersecting Normative Space

Pauline Ravinet

The objective of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive framework to answer the question “What are the European higher education principles?”. The first section gives preliminary definitions of key notions for this framework: ‘principles’ and ‘normative space’. The second section presents European higher education principles as derived from European general principles, and articulated to the European market vision. The third section interprets them as embedded in the “University normative space” and connected to its principles and values. The fourth and conclusive section proposes to define European higher education as a normative space at the intersection between two normative spaces, “Europe” and “University”, and to differentiate between the EU (market) and EHEA (hybrid) versions of these European higher education principles.
