This book analyses European higher education policies and their three
main drivers: the European Commission, the European Court of Justice and
the building of the European Higher Education Area through the Bologna
Process. Central to the volume is the issue of European institutions'
intervention in higher education: building a common area for higher
education in a domain protected by subsidiarity is no easy task, and one
that must consider the supra-national, national and institutional levels
that all play a role in policy implementation. In this volume, the
editors and contributors navigate within the tensions between the
establishment of an internal market on the one hand and national
sovereignty on the other. This volume will surely be of interest and
value to those studying and working in the area of higher education
policy and understanding relationships between European institutions and
member states.
