内容简介：
    European Higher Education is undergoing a tremendous change. The Bologna Reform intends to harmonize the entire European educational space. This has given rise to much discussion, criticism and opposition along various dimensions: quality of higher education, privatization and globalization of education, proletarianization of professors, education versus training, instrumentalization of universities by employers and labor markets, academic freedom in teaching and research, etc. Professor Wallimann will discuss both the basic premises of the Bologna Reform and ongoing debates and resistance patterns. The presentation is based on an article published in the book BACHELOR BOLOGNESE, Budrich 2009.
