Abstract
Since the late 1990s, European countries have sought to
renew their research and higher education systems along
the lines of increasing Europeanization, which has
especially been driven by the Lisbon Strategy (2000) and
the Bologna Declaration (1999). The European Commission
has seen higher education and research as particularly
important elements of the Lisbon Strategy. In this vein,
it has urged national governments to modernize their
national higher education and research systems by
ensuring sufficient autonomy, better governance and
accountability of universities, with an aim to increase
European competitiveness in an increasingly
knowledge-driven global economy (European Commission,
2006).
