商品描述
This volume provides an overview of the state of the art of research on the politics of higher education policy in Canada, the US, and Western Europe. Each thematic chapter combines an extensive literature review with original empirical work that further advances our understanding of policymaking dynamics in higher education.
The book covers five key aspects of policymaking, namely the politics of governance as well as funding reforms, the role of interest groups, policy diffusion, and policy framing. These aspects are explored using a unique comparative design that combines comparisons within as well as between regions, and among the five key aspects of policymaking. The conceptual framework is anchored in approaches from institutional theory, namely sociological and historical institutionalism.
"This rare book coherently focuses on the same critical challenges that higher education faces in a changing global and national environment. These include vital governance and finance issues and how these are framed and contested by different organizations and interest groups as well as state actors. Within a broad institutionalist framework that reflects the tensions between historical university and national legacies on the one hand and regional and global influences on the other, the authors focus on policymaking in Western Europe, Canada, and the US. This is an engaging and creative endeavor, a must-read for scholars and policymakers alike."
Francisco O. Ramirez, Graduate School of Education Stanford University
"This is a real achievement that will contribute to the development of research in politics of higher education policy, finance, and economic development. It is timely in an era when higher learning is increasingly salient to national policy, interest groups, and supranational bodies such as the EU. The focus on Canada, the US, and Europe frames a comparative approach to a competitive higher educational policy arena thathas not received systematic study."
Sheila Slaughter, Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education, University of Georgia
"This fills a gaping hole in research on the politics of higher education. In bringing together research perspectives from governance studies with comparative public policy as well as scholars from Europe and Northern America, this volume will serve as an important reference point for a rapidly growing research field. The exceptionally high quality of editorship is documented by the fact that the chapters are convincingly subsumed under five sub-themes. In short: A must-read for any researcher and student interested in understanding the political foundations of higher education."Marius R. Busemeyer, Department of Politics and Public Administration, University of Konstanz
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了加拿大、美國和西歐高等教育政策研究的最新概況。每個主題章節結合了廣泛的文獻回顧和原始實證研究,進一步深化了我們對高等教育政策制定動態的理解。
本書涵蓋了五個關鍵方面的政策制定,包括治理和資金改革的政治、利益團體的角色、政策傳播和政策框架。這些方面使用了獨特的比較設計,結合了區域內部和區域間的比較,以及五個政策制定的關鍵方面之間的比較。概念框架基於制度理論的方法,即社會學和歷史制度主義。
「這本罕見的書聚焦於高等教育在不斷變化的全球和國家環境中面臨的同樣重要挑戰。這些挑戰包括重要的治理和財務問題,以及這些問題如何被不同組織、利益團體和國家行為者所框架和爭議。在一個廣泛的制度主義框架下,反映了歷史大學和國家傳統與區域和全球影響之間的張力,作者們聚焦於西歐、加拿大和美國的政策制定。這是一個引人入勝且富有創意的努力,是學者和政策制定者必讀的書。」
- Francisco O. Ramirez, 斯坦福大學教育研究生院
「這是一項真正的成就,將有助於高等教育政策、財務和經濟發展研究的發展。在高等教育對國家政策、利益團體和歐盟等超國家機構日益重要的時代,這是及時的。對加拿大、美國和歐洲的關注構建了一種比較方法,這是一個競爭激烈的高等教育政策領域,尚未得到系統研究。」
- Sheila Slaughter, 喬治亞大學路易斯·麥比高等教育研究所
「這填補了高等教育政治研究的一個巨大空白。通過將治理研究的研究視角與比較公共政策以及來自歐洲和北美的學者結合起來,本書將成為快速增長的研究領域的重要參考點。編輯工作的卓越品質可從各章節都能清楚地歸入五個子主題中得到證明。簡而言之:對於任何對高等教育政治基礎感興趣的研究人員和學生來說,這是一本必讀之作。」
- Marius R. Busemeyer, 康斯坦茨大學政治與公共行政系
