Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACTS The paper tackles the issue of the changes in universities, induced by the internationalization of higher education at the turn of the Millennium and the ensuing national reforms that have spread all over the world. Using a meso-approach of the organization, governance and performance of universities, it suggests a typology based on the tensions they experiment between two regimes of worth – the traditional one that favors “reputation” as a social evaluation vs the new one, build around a metrics-based “excellence” assessment. It finally questions the most sensitive issues and challenges they face and how they behave depending on their strategic capacity to face their resources and constraints.
RESUMOS O artigo aborda o problema das transformações nas universidades induzidas pela internacionalização do ensino superior na virada do milênio, bem como as consequentes reformas nacionais que se espalharam pelo mundo. Usando uma abordagem meso-analítica da organização, governança e performance das universidades, o artigo sugere uma tipologia fundamentada nas tensões que elas experimentam entre dois regimes de valor: um tradicional que favorece a “reputação” como uma avaliação social; outro que foi construído a partir de métricas de “excelência”. Finalmente, o artigo questiona os problemas e desafios mais sensíveis que as universidades enfrentam e a maneira como elas se comportam dependendo de sua capacidade estratégica de lidar com seus recursos e restrições.
RESUMÉS L’article aborde le problème des transformations dans les universités induites par l’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur au tournant de l’an 2000 et aux réformes nationales qui s’en sont suivies partout dans le monde. En utilisant une approche méso-analytique de l’organisation, de la gouvernance et de la performance des universités, l’article suggère une typologie fondée sur la tension entre deux régimes de valeur: l’un, traditionnel, qui favorise la « réputation » en tant qu’évaluation sociale; l’autre qui a été construit à partir de mesures d’« excellence ». L’article questionne enfin les problèmes et les défis les plus sensibles auxquels les universités sont soumises et évoque la façon dont elles se comportent suivant leur capacite stratégique de traiter leurs ressources et restrictions. |
