Beschreibung
The contributions of this volume are based on the colloquium „Adapting
universities to the global society – a transatlantic perspective“, held by
the Transatlantic Policy Consortium on the Bloomington Campus of Indiana
University in September 2007.
The 12 provocative papers
- investigate the impacts of globalization and global competition on
the performance, mission, role and shape of American and European
universities, - identify the differences between American and European
universities regarding societal support, research, management and
leadership, - examine ways of closing the gaps and meeting university quality
challenges, and - assess the values of the Bologna Process and the changing nature
of university governance.
The volume provides a unique insight into these problems from a European
and US perspective.
Dr. Charles F. Bonser is Dean Emeritus of the School of Public and
Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA.
