This book focuses on how the Northern futures are transformed through
regional cooperation in the Barents eduscape: a study of the social,
cultural and political aspects of higher education and the exchanges
of learning and people in the Euro-Arctic Barents region, especially
between Norway and Russia. Cultural exchange through higher education
involving actors such as students and institutions is an integral part
both of the Bologna process and of the policies currently changing
higher education. It is also a process of social and cultural change
of which we have limited knowledge. Cultural exchange is learned,
implemented and performed by the actors who are involved, from the
highest political level to the grassroots and the students themselves.
Available knowledge of these macro- and micro-processes of cultural
exchange is largely fragmented and distinctly framed in national
and/or disciplinary (i.e. pedagogical) contexts. In order to
understand the transformative potentials of higher education and
cultural exchange, this book focuses on the social, cultural and
political aspects of the transformations of the futures in the
North. This book shows that educational cooperation between Norway
and Russia is possible, but also that the existing practices are
extremely vulnerable to changes seen through micro theoretical
perspectives. By developing new theories which bind major theories,
international political decisions, methodological procedures and
contextual descriptions together, this book is a first step in the
direction of institutionalizing educational cooperation between the
various and different academic societies, cultures and political
systems.
