Abstract	This book sets out political economy explanations for higher education policy reform in Europe in the initial decades of the 21st century. With a sustained focus on the national level of policy implementation, institutional change is considered in relationship to broader trends in economic development and globalization. Since the concept of a "Europe of Knowledge" was presented by the European Commission in 1997, the pursuit of global competitiveness sets the context for the international initiative of the Bologna Process that has created the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Growing from 29 to 48 participating countries, there are various explanations for the changing policy process, including globalization, intergovernmentalism, and Europeanization. As part of multi-method research analysis, this book presents qualitative case studies on Portugal and Spain to consider points of comparison such as national governance history and modernization of higher education institutions. The structure of government in these countries affects the policy reforms, and the historical ties to Ibero-American countries offer important lessons. Ultimately, the Bologna Process serves as a model for regional integration of higher education in world regions. The book will be essential reading for researchers and policy makers in the fields of education, economics, and public policy. (Verlag).
