| Zusammenfassung: | This monograph explores how one of the largest geopolitical changes of the twentieth century-the dissolution of the Soviet Union-triggered and inspired the reconfiguration of the Soviet university. The reader is invited to engage in a historical and sociological sensemaking of radical and incremental changes affecting 69 former Soviet universities since the early 1990s. The monograph departs from traditional deficit-oriented, internalist explanations of change and illustrates how global flows of ideas, people, and finances have impacted higher education transformations in this region. It also identifies areas of persistence. The processes of marketisation, internationalisation, and academic liberation are analysed to show that universities have maintained certain traditions while adopting and internalising new ways of fulfilling their education and research functions. Soviet universities have survived chaotic processes of post-Soviet transformations and have self-stabilised with time. Most of them remain flagship institutions with large numbers of students and relatively high research productivity. At the same time, the majority of these universities operate in a top-down, one-man management environment with limited institutional autonomy and academic freedom. As the homes of intellectuals, universities represent a duality of opportunity and threat. Universities can nurture collective possibilities, imagining and bringing about a different future. At the same time, or perhaps because of this, the probability is high that universities will continue to be perceived as threats to governments with authoritarian inclinations. One message to take away from this monograph is that the time is ripe for former Soviet universities to loosen their last remaining chains |

The reader is invited to engage in a historical and sociological sensemaking of radical and incremental changes affecting 69 former Soviet universities since the early 1990s. The monograph departs from traditional deficit-oriented, internalist explanations of change and illustrates how global flows of ideas, people, and finances have impacted higher education transformations in this region. It also identifies areas of persistence. The processes of marketisation, internationalisation, and academic liberation are analysed to show that universities have maintained certain traditions while adopting and internalising new ways of fulfilling their education and research functions. Soviet universities have survived chaotic processes of post-Soviet transformations and have self-stabilised with time. Most of them remain flagship institutions with large numbers of students and relatively high research productivity. At the same time, the majority of these universities operate in a top-down, one-man management environment with limited institutional autonomy and academic freedom. As the homes of intellectuals, universities represent a duality of opportunity and threat. Universities can nurture collective possibilities, imagining and bringing about a different future. At the same time, or perhaps because of this, the probability is high that universities will continue to be perceived as threats to governments with authoritarian inclinations. One message to take away from this monograph is that the time is ripe for former Soviet universities to loosen their last remaining chains Education / Soviet Union Post-communism / Russia (Federation) Ethnology / Russia (Federation) Manners and customs Wissenschaftspolitik (DE-588)4140181-5 gnd rswk-swf Transformation (DE-588)4451062-7 gnd rswk-swf Bildungssystem (DE-588)4069467-7 gnd rswk-swf Universität (DE-588)4061778-6 gnd rswk-swf Bildungspolitik (DE-588)4006667-8 gnd rswk-swf Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 gnd rswk-swf Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 gnd rswk-swf Electronic books Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 g Universität (DE-588)4061778-6 s Transformation (DE-588)4451062-7 s Bildungspolitik (DE-588)4006667-8 s Wissenschaftspolitik (DE-588)4140181-5 s Bildungssystem (DE-588)4069467-7 s DE-604 Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 g Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-19-284984-7 https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780192849847.001.0001 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
