Books by Hans Daalder

The book throws a unique light on the development of comparative studies after World War II as seen through the eyes of an active participant.

Originally published in 1982, this is a collection of studies by representatives of countries in western Europe, writing about important legislation affecting universities and showing trends of government control over higher education. Taking the widespread student agitation in 1968 as the starting-point, the authors summarise the general history of higher education.
