This book is the result of many years of international comparative research on university institutions in Europe. Universities are under tremendous pressure for change, which on the one hand is related to the challenges of globalization, Europeanization and massification of all higher education, and on the other hand to the changing role of the European welfare state. At the center of these changes is the academic staff, who for at least twenty years have been subjected to the pressures of successive stages of reforms in the financing and management of higher education systems in Europe. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the contemporary challenges facing universities.
