Abstract | The paper investigates the history of US influence on higher education policy and practice in the UK during the secnd half of the 20th century. The analysis is located in a broader context of cultural and policy encounters between the two nations during these years and considers the relevance of the contested concept of 'Americanization' to understanding the history of transatlantic influence. It ... draws on a range of relevant concepts from social science to illustrate the key themes and questions involved. Policy transfer and lesson drawing are considered as conceptual tools with which to identify the often complex and overlapping elements involved in the development of policy. ... The empirical evidence suggests that the translation of US policy ideas and practices was far from straightforward and was invariably conditioned by a range of structural, cultural and political barriers. The paper concludes that the US exercised an important but ambiguous role in the development of UK higher education policy. ( DIPF/Orig.) |
