Note(s) : "This book is based on the papers presented during the 30th Annual Consortium of Higher
Education Researchers (CHER) conference hosted by the Finnish Institute for Educational
Research at the University of Jyväskylä in August 2017"--Foreword. - Bibliogr. en fin de chapitres
"Universities can be viewed and studied as political institutions, especially considering
that they sit at the crossroads of social, cultural, and economic pressures. The internal
and external environment of higher education brings with it multiple and complex relationships
as well as power struggles. Within these contested political spaces, there are phenomena
to be studied. While the field of higher education draws from a multitude of disciplines,
some scholars argue that only recently has scholarship focused on the political perspectives
of higher education. To better understand the politics and policies of higher education,
Universities as Political Institutions illuminates a variety of ways that researchers
view and study universities as a political institution, from considering the national
and international political pressures shaping higher education to the analysis of
responses and political action from within the ivory tower. The 2017 annual CHER conference
in Jyväskylä (Finland) brought together 213 scholars from 30 countries. This book
includes a selection of papers and keynote presentations from this conference. The
thematic approach of the book reflects the 2017 conference theme: "Universities as
Political Institutions - Higher Education Institutions in the Middle of Academic,
Economic, and Social Pressures". The theme focused on multiple and often complex relations
and relationships, internal and external, to higher education institutions. In this
context, "political" refers not only to definitions, uses, and users of power but
more broadly to a variety of relationships among different actors and agencies responsible
for making, executing, or resisting decisions concerning higher education institutions"
