“…EU countries are part of the EHEA. The studies about it focus on the following key aspects of the influence of EU integration on higher education: changes in the governing of higher education on the national level; changes in the governing of higher education institutions (Charlier & Croché, 2005; De Wit, 2003; Lowe, 1992; Maassen & Olsen, 2007; Maassen & Musselin, 2009); changes in the governing of research in higher education (Amaral et al., 2009), the impact of EU integration on private higher education institutions (Kwiek, 2007), and the European integration of higher education through student mobility (Papatsiba, 2006).…”

In 2017, the European Union (EU) initiated the development of the European Education Area (EEA). The referentiality approach frames an original and timely inquiry into how EU policymakers explain the reasons for the development of the EEA. This inquiry relies on thematic analysis of relevant key policy materials, produced by the European Commission and the Council of the EU. The findings highlight a range of internal and external referentiality mechanisms that EU policymakers use to justify the development of the EEA. Internal references are related mainly to education traditions in the EU as a strong foundation for the EEA and the source of its ideas; the beliefs that the EEA can help overcome the interlocking crises the EU has faced in its recent past in the area of education as well as more generally; as well as the organisation of the EEA as part of the functioning of the EU, with both mutually shaping each other. External references are used to build on this and boost the competitiveness of EU's education sector and the EU as a region in the world. These findings address important gaps in our knowledge about EU policymakers' reasons for the development of the EEA. They enrich the limited literature about the EEA, make a theoretical contribution by extending the application of the referentiality approach and call policy actors at all levels of the EEA to facilitate a shared understanding of the reasons for the development of the EEA to ensure that their work serves EEA's purpose.

“…It is undeniable that less than ten years after it was launched, the Bologna process has been popular beyond its initiators' expectations (Charlier and Croché 2006) with forty-six adhering countries (almost all those that could technically join it). 15 The Bologna model, now a landmark in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, is the subject of analyses and commentary and inspires major reforms (Charlier and Croché 2003).…”
