“…The interviews show that basically HE's purpose for students can be divided into three main themes—occupational, personal and societal—but with different emphasis within those themes (see also Table 1 at the end of this chapter) . The following typification of the purpose of HE presents ideal types (Weber, 1980 [1920]). Few interviewed students do actually fit neatly into one type and some kind of overlapping and mixture can often be found.…”

What is higher education to contemporary students in Germany?

The purpose, aim and goals of higher education itself have been discussed and researched in the context of massified and marketised higher education in Germany, with a focus mainly on higher education national policies or the view of faculty staff. By shifting the perspective instead to the students, this article asks what higher education means to them nowadays. This study is based on 95 interviews with German graduate students from three disciplines (i.e. business administration/management, medicine and musicology) and it offers a typology of what students understand as the purpose of higher education. Six types were reconstructed from the empirical material, along three main lines of higher education's purpose (i.e. occupational, personal and societal). This paper also shows how the chosen discipline becomes more salient for the student's perception of higher education purpose than their social background. This questions previous research that found strong ties between instrumentalism and social background in higher education. This paper also demonstrates that social differences do matter in their egalitarian or elitist variation of understanding within non‐instrumentalist types. Overall, this study illustrates how heterogenous contemporary higher education purpose has become, which mirrors a further general differentiation in higher education.

“…,Soziales' Handeln aber soll ein solches Handeln heißen, welches seinem von dem oder den Handelnden gemeinten Sinn nach auf das Verhalten anderer bezogen wird und daran in seinem Ablauf orientiert ist." 1070 Aus seiner Definition lässt sich sowohl ableiten, dass das Soziale maßgeblich auf der Interaktion fußt, als auch dass die Soziologie nach messbaren Erfahrungswerten des Individuums mit Blick auf seine Interaktionen strebt. 1071 Es mag also weniger um eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Perspektive gehen 1072 , als vielmehr um die einzelnen, menschlichen Verhaltensweisen und deren Ergründung.…”

“…(Intra‐)bureaucratic characteristics are seen as the main source for organizational “autonomization” (Weber, 1972). The very factors that enable the bureaucracy to fulfill its tasks efficiently are also important sources of autonomous power and influence, allowing the administration to develop a life of its own and escape the control of its political principals (Eisenstadt, 1958, p. 103).…”

Under what conditions does bureaucracy matter in the making of global public policies?

This study investigates how configurations of bureaucratic autonomy, policy complexity and political contestation allow international public administrations (IPAs) to influence policymaking within international organizations. A fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis of 17 policy decisions in four organizations (FAO, WHO, ILO, UNESCO) shows that all IPAs studied can be influential in favorable contexts. When policies are both contested and complex, even IPAs lacking autonomy can influence policy. If either complexity or contestation is absent, however, it is the variant of autonomy of will that helps the IPA exploit procedural strategies of influence. Low autonomy of will, among other factors, explains why IPAs cannot exert influence.Conversely, the variant of autonomy of action appears largely irrelevant. The study provides new insights into the role of bureaucracy beyond the state, exemplifying how research of bureaucratic influence can yield more systematic results in various empirical settings.
