At last! Here is a research rich and conceptually coherent account
of two interlinked policy domains that have scarcely featured in
either the Europeanisation or higher education literature. Such a
book is needed. During the last decade, a European Higher Education
Area has emerged and EU higher education and research are now
strategic issues for EU growth and innovation policies. The book
offers a convincing demonstration of why policy evolves in
different ways, even in related policy areas. The eight case
studies, written by established scholars and rising academic stars,
point up the clash of institutionally embedded tensions in EU
policy-making. These tensions are sector-specific. But, thanks to
the comparative nature of the study, we can also appreciate a
historical dimension to tensions of governance. This explains why
in some cases European integration is accepted, in others treated
with suspicion. This is a breakthrough book and as such is warmly
recommended for both European studies and higher education studies
teachers, researchers and students.' - Anne Corbett author of
Universities and the Europe of Knowledge: Ideas, Institutions and
Policy Entrepreneurship in European Union Higher Education Policy
and former Visiting Fellow, European Institute, London School of
Economics and Political Science, UKBuilding the Knowledge Economy
in Europe investigates the dynamics of emerging knowledge policy
domains on the European political agenda, and the dynamics of this
in relation to knowledge policies. This volume brings together
leading experts who address the two central pillars of the 'Europe
of Knowledge', research and higher education, to reveal the
vertical, horizontal and sequential tensions in European knowledge
governance This book is the first comparative volume on European
research and higher education policies. The chapters cover topics
such as the idea of the European Research Area, sustainability of
the Bologna Process, institution building for a Europe of
Knowledge, domestic impact of EU level initiatives, and the role of
the crisis in the European Higher Education Area. It accounts for
the creation of key institutions administering EU funding and
addresses the core issues of European integration in the knowledge
domains. This thought provoking book will engage academic readers
interested in European integration analyzed from general political
science, administrative science, organization theory perspectives
as well as in higher education and science studies. National
policy-makers, European policy-makers and practitioners will also
find much policy-relevant content, particularly because the
European Research Area is formally scheduled to be completed by
2014. Contributors include: M.-H. Chou, M. Elken, A. Gornitzka,
H.F. Hansen, C. Hoareau, J. Metz, J. Real-Dato, M. Vukasovic
