What are the principal drivers of recent higher education reforms?
This study investigates whether the soft governance mechanism of
transnational communication has evoked cross-national policy
harmonization. Results suggest that the Bologna Process has
triggered substantial policy harmonization beyond general policy
convergence.

In addition to its regular legislative competencies, the Maastricht
Treaty authorized the European Parliament (EP) to launch
non-legislative reports. In this study, a special type of
non-legislative reports, own-initiative reports, are analyzed by
means of regression analysis. Thereby the individual
characteristics of the Members of Parliament (MEP) and the
legislative competencies of the committees are accounted for. The
results reveal a considerable difference in the activity level of
committees and MEPs with regard to preparing own-initiative
reports. Firstly, high levels of legislative competence of the EP
committees correspond to a low interest in drawing up
own-initiative reports. Secondly, on the individual level, being a
member in a prestigious but legislative relatively powerless
committee increases the chances of authoring own-initiative
reports. Thus, those committees with few or no legislative
competencies use own-initiative reports to gain more influence over
those policy areas, where the European Parliament holds only few or
no legislative competencies.
