This book provides an overview of the major findings of the
comparative research project, Changes in Networks, Higher Education
and Knowledge Society (CINHEKS). The main aim of this international
comparative research project is the analysis of how Higher
education institutions are networked within distinct knowledge
societies in two key regions of the world: Europe and the United
States of America. This research project was carried out in four
European countries (Finland, Germany, Portugal and the United
Kingdom) and in two different states in the United States of
America. In addition, during the course of the research, a team
from the Russian Federation joined the CINHEKS study. The analysis
is contextually grounded in a comparative policy analysis focused
on the main developments and understandings of the ideas
surrounding the term knowledge society, in all countries concerned.
Empirical elaboration is established via a series of sequential
studies, each building, incrementally, on the previous study. These
studies include institutional profiles of higher education
institutions, institutional case studies, and an international
comparative survey that illuminates academics' social networks. The
research findings broaden our understanding of the differences and
similarities in how higher education institutions and individual
academics are networked within and between societies that
understand themselves as knowledge societies. The book introduces a
novel analytical synthesis, which asserts contemporary societies
have evolved into Networked Knowledge Societies. Methodologically,
the book both challenges and raises the bar for previous approaches
in comparative higher education, in terms of research design,
execution and lays the groundwork for a new generation of
international comparative higher education research.
