This book focuses on how the Northern futures are transformed
through regional cooperation in the Barents eduscape: a study of
the social, cultural and political aspects of higher education and
the exchanges of learning and people in the Euro-Arctic Barents
region, especially between Norway and Russia. Cultural exchange
through higher education involving actors such as students and
institutions is an integral part both of the Bologna process and of
the policies currently changing higher education. It is also a
process of social and cultural change of which we have limited
knowledge. Cultural exchange is learned, implemented and performed
by the actors who are involved, from the highest political level to
the grassroots and the students themselves. Available knowledge of
these macro- and micro-processes of cultural exchange is largely
fragmented and distinctly framed in national and/or disciplinary
(i.e. pedagogical) contexts. In order to understand the
transformative potentials of higher education and cultural
exchange, this book focuses on the social, cultural and political
aspects of the transformations of the futures in the North. This
book shows that educational cooperation between Norway and Russia
is possible, but also that the existing practices are extremely
vulnerable to changes seen through micro theoretical perspectives.
By developing new theories which bind major theories, international
political decisions, methodological procedures and contextual
descriptions together, this book is a first step in the direction
of institutionalizing educational cooperation between the various
and different academic societies, cultures and political systems.
