This volume presents a rich account of the development of
accreditation and evaluation in 20 European countries. The authors
are leaders in the field and they have cooperated in this effort by
writing richly different, often deep and insightful analyses of the
situation in their country. The two editors have added a synopsis
detailing the main trends, and sketching commonalities as well as
contrasts in the developments across Europe. The book shows how
accreditation is becoming a main mechanism in the steering of
higher education all over Europe. The book is unique in its
analysis of forces driving towards the spread of different models
of accreditation in the emerging European Higher Education area.
Readers will obtain an up-to-date picture of the state of affairs
of accreditation in the framework of evaluation activities in
Europe. They will gain an understanding of why accreditation and
evaluation systems have evolved the way they have, and
subsequently, they will obtain more realistic views on
potentialities for European comparability and cooperation in this
area.
This volume is of interest to researchers and policy-making
staff in higher education, especially those involved at the level
of national systems for quality assurance, accreditation,
internationalization and the Bologna process. It is also of
interest to Master/PhD students in (higher) education
management.
