In this episode of the World of Higher Education podcast, host Alex Usher sits down with Michael Shattock to discuss the complexities of university governance across Europe. The discussion covers the fundamental differences between the British, French Napoleonic, and German Humboldtian models, and their practical impacts on the relationship between universities and the state. Michael Shattock provides insights from his book, 'The Governance of European Higher Education: Convergence or Divergence,' co-authored with Aniko Horvath and Jürgen Enders, highlighting the ongoing divergence in governance approaches despite pushes for convergence. The episode also delves into the role of students in governance and the varying degrees of state involvement in higher education across different European countries.
