Higher Education in Germany -- Recent Developments in an International Perspective

Více o knize

This book discusses the main structures of the German higher education system both conceptually and with a particular emphasis on recent developments like, e.g., the growth and differentiation of the system, governance reforms, and the Excellence Initiative. Recent developments are analysed from an international perspective, as national higher education systems are embedded in broader, transnational trends. As a result, this book does not only provide an academically sound and theoretically inspired account of recent developments of the German higher education system, but with its systematic and comprehensive focus it may serve as a blueprint for the analysis of other national systems as well.
