Abstract | Struggling economies, outdated academic cultural traditions, and obsolete organizational structures are among the problems facing higher education reformers in the Balkans today. Change comes hard there despite difficult financial circumstances that elsewhere might provide the impetus for reform. Yet governmental and university leaders are finding common ground in the Bologna Process--a major initiative to reform higher education throughout the greater European area. This article focuses on this common ground and the resulting reforms in one Balkan nation, Macedonia, and it places the changes in the broader context of the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and Russia. The author makes observations based on his involvement in projects in Macedonia for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank. He also draws on his extensive work in Eastern Europe and with the Salzburg Seminar, an organization established in 1947 to promote global dialogue on issues of international concern. (ERIC). |
