Gellert Claudius

Recruitment Processes to Teaching and Research Positions in Institutions of German Higher Education: Basic Features, Historical Perspectives and Present Problems, di Claudius Gellert

Lo Schiavo Lidia

Neoliberal education reforms, student activism and youth conditions in Italy. Findings from a case study on three Italian student organisations, by Lidia Lo Schiavo

Gläser Jochen

German universities on their way to performance-based management of research portfolios, di Jochen Gläser

The rise of «new public management» (NPM) in higher education systems of many OECD countries is based on, and fuels, research evaluation as a political and management tool.
