European Higher Education and the Internal Market Tensions Between European Policy and National Sovereignty Edited by Cristina Sin, Orlanda Tavares, Sónia Cardoso and Maria J. Rosa ISSUES IN HIGHER EDUCATION Issues in Higher Education Series Editor Guy Neave Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France “Creeping competence, amazing interpretations. Here is an uncomfortable peeling aside of the Bruxelles Commission’s stances—sometimes called higher education policy—vis-a-vis the universities, polytechnics and teacher training colleges in its several Member States. It is, however, an account revealing, ele- gant and greatly necessary for both accuracy, understanding and, finally, to set straight the historical record, strange though the latter has been this quarter century past.” —Guy Neave, Professor Emeritus, Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies, Twente University, Netherlands Issues in Higher Education is resolutely committed to advancing the comparative dimension in the study of higher education, actively encouraging original scholarship building on and out from the interna- tional and comparative perspectives. Particular preference will be given to studies of a given topic compared across a minimum of two national higher education systems.
