Higher Education Governance and Policy Change in Western Europe Reviews

Since the national process tracing of the HE reforms with a comparative perspective and multi-model analysis is rich and presents theoretical challenges to advance the field, I highly recommend Dobbins' and Knill's book to students and researchers in the fields of education policy, comparative education, and political science as well as policy-makers. (Marcelo Marques, Journal of Education Policy, Vol. 31 (1), January, 2016)
