Knowledge Policy Strategies in Europe: From National to Global

Abstract

This panel examines the strategies that actors in the knowledge policy sector apply to promote their ideas and interests across multiple governance levels: from national, regional to the global. The contributions in this panel address the following questions: Is there a dominant strategy driving the processes of consolidating common knowledge areas or national and regional knowledge-based economies? What are the different roles of knowledge in these processes and how do they define and further shape the kinds of strategies used? What politics do these different strategies represent and how do they reconcile the overlapping boundaries between related, albeit differentiated, knowledge sectors such as education, innovation, science and research? Can we distinguish different strategies according to actor groups, for example, between national political actors, university administrators and stakeholder groups? Finally, how are the strategies conveyed? What kinds of discourse could we identify in these developments?
