Dr. Patrick Clancy - Isomorphism in Higher Education Policy: The Incorporation of Supranational Perspectives into National Policy
Influence of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Ireland’s Higher Education Policy
National higher education policy coordination has become an increasingly major governance enigma as the influence of transnational actors and agencies rise. With the growing number of stakeholders and differing agendas, it is useful to consider the implications of this new landscape. Dr. Patrick Clancy will identify and address specific external influences, limitations of policy analysis, and recommendations, in regards to the National Strategy for Higher Education policy document, as well as also address the Bologna Process in respect of its social dimension.
