摘要：This article describes the findings of an exploratory research project conducted in
Central and Western Europe during the fall of 2008. The purpose of the research was
to identify the role of change that European Universities have faced throughout the 20th
Century and to identify how they have responded to these challenges. One surprising
outcome of the research was that most European universities were not impacted
significantly at all by the several tumultuous events of the Century, but that they are now
seeing substantive changes due to the implementation of the Bologna Process, which
has been adopted by 46 European countries to improve quality and competitiveness in
their universities. This article examines the issues around change that are being played
out in European universities and suggests some strategies they may wish to consider
as they work to become more competitive with higher education in the United States.
