Forthcoming in 2014: “Global Challenges, Local Responses in Higher Education. The contemporary issues in national and comparative perspective” (Sense Publishers)

Edited by Jelena Brankovic, Manja Klemencic, Predrag Lazetic and Pavel Zgaga

The volume offers state-of-the art contributions in the intersection of university governance, academic profession and internationalisation. They reflect the profound interest of contemporary researchers in the questions of how the contemporary higher education reforms across Europe affect university governance and especially the roles and functions of academics. The volume includes several contributions from the peripheral and developing higher education systems of Central and South-east Europe; hence, attempting to rebalance the European profile of higher education research and at the same time contribute to the most salient debates in the field.

The contributions have been selected from the best papers submitted to the annual conference of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER), which took place 9-11 September 2012 in Belgrade, Serbia.
