Politics of higher education and research policy – actors, institutions and processes

Abstract

This panel focuses on the political dynamics underlying higher education and research policies. With universities and their main tasks of education and research being of increasing relevance for modern societies and for delivering policy solutions for grand societal challenges, questions regarding the way in which policy is made in this area are also becoming more salient. This panel welcomes proposals that investigate actors, institutions or processes of policy-making for higher education and research policies, either separately or in combination. Papers should be based on empirical analyses and preferably have an international comparative component.
