Higher Education in Germany—Recent Developments in an International Perspective

Part of the book series: Higher Education Dynamics ((HEDY,volume 49))

Abstract

We have described and discussed a myriad of changes that have taken place at the macro, the meso and the micro level of the German higher education system over the last 20 years. In the respective chapters of this book we have embedded each of these developments in theory in order to lend greater depth to our analysis. We have also shown that, on the one hand, these reforms are embedded in transnational discourse and developments; on the other hand, however, that they are strongly influenced by national traditions and structures. Before we begin exploring how these changes are to be assessed overall, we should once again review the developments we described in each of the chapters.
