Abstract

CHAPTER 9 Åse Gornitzka, Peter Maassen, Johan P. Olsen, and Bjørn Stensaker A BRIEF RECAPITULATION The general aim of this volume is to contribute to an improved analytical framework and empirical basis for understanding the processes, determinants, and consequences of change in the University, as a key institution of modern society. We take a general interest in how the University is organized and governed, how it operates and per- forms, and how it develops over time.

Improving our understanding of the relationships between the dynamics of change in the European University and European integration requires that we address a num- ber of core questions concerning the dynamics of each of them, as well as their interrelations.
