The Emergent Role of External Stakeholders in European Higher Education Governance

Part of the book series: Higher Education Dynamics ((HEDY,volume 2))

Over the last few decades, higher education institutions have been confronted with increasing outside pressures aimed at institutional change.

In this type of approach, concepts such as ‘adaptiveness’, ‘environmental awareness’, ‘responsiveness’, etc., become central, both as analytical devices and as values to be pursued.
