Abstract	This volume contains a selection of essays written on East European higher education reforms in the years 1995-2000. Covering various aspects of higher education reform in the post state-socialist countries of Central and East Europe and the former Soviet Union the study suggests that the reform agenda was effectively abandoned before it even started. Content: Introduction. A quest for a new legitimacy in East European higher education. I. Enlightenment and minority cultures: Central and East European higher education reform ten years later. II. Developments in Russian higher education: Legislative and policy reform within a Central and East European context. - III. Recent trends in Estonian higher education: Emergence of the binary division from the point of view of staff development. - IV. External quality assurance in Estonian higher education: its glory, take-off and crash. - V. Higher education reform in Estonia: a legal perspective. - VI. Market as metaphor in Central and East European higher education. - VII. Conflict and interaction in Central and East European higher education: the triangle of red giants, white dwarfs and black holes. - VIII. When East meets West: Decontextualizing the quality of East European higher education. - IX. Reproduction of the "state nobility" in Eastern Europe: past patterns and new practices. - Conclusions. Doxa, Realpolitik and revolution in East European higher education. (HoF/text adopted).
