摘要：AbstractTo develop education in a new economic context calls for new knowledge and new modalities of political governing. This paper explores how the academic profession in Romania perceives, interprets and interacts with changes in the socio-economic environment and in the organisational structure of higher education systems and higher education institutions. The analysis is based on data gathered to accomplish a cross study on the influence of the European governance in the countries involved in the EuroHESC project EUROAC – The Academic Profession in Europe: responses to societal challenges (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Romania, and Croatia as Principal Investigators and Finland and Poland as Associated Partners). In our analysis we focused on the themes covering hierarchy, external decision maker (stakeholder) and management. The data are based on the results from an online questionnaire which was conducted in Romania between November 2009 and June 2010.
