- Summary:
- Vlasceanu (sociology, Bucharest U.) teaches, but also serves on national agencies seeking to reform higher education and research institutions throughout Romania. He draws on his experiences at both scales to chronicle recent and current changes in the university. Among them the clash between academic traditions, markets, and the General Agreement on Trade in Services; risks and prospective approaches to demography and higher education; whether university and development form a vicious or virtuous circle; and continuities and discontinuities in academic transformations.
