23 SES 10 C, Constructing And Diffusing Knowledge For European Education Policy
Symposium
Contribution
Most studies of the diffusion or transfer of policy ideas assume a relatively amenable and receptive stance on the part of the ‘target’ audience. This assumption does not hold good in the case of the UK ‘Bologna Experts’ who are appointed to improve knowledge and understanding of the Bologna process among UK universities. Through their advisory roles on various dimensions of the Bologna process to universities, and by engaging in public dissemination events, the experts act as agents of particular ‘translations’, or ‘brokerings’ of knowledge of the Bologna to the UK HE sector. However, this might be seen as a process of passive diffusion rather than active transfer. In considering how these strategies may be responses to the wider structural and strategic selectivity of the Bologna process as well as to UK national preoccupations , the paper seeks to distinguish conceptions of diffusion/translation/ transfer/brokering and articulation
