Abstract(s)
The higher education system in Europe is currently under stress and the debates over its
reform and future are gaining momentum. Now that, for most countries, we are in a time
for change, in the overall society and the whole education system, the legal and political
dimensions have gained prominence, which has not been followed by a more integrative
approach of the problem of order, its reform and the issue of regulation, beyond the
typical static and classical cost-benefit analyses.
The two classical approaches for studying (and for designing the policy measures of) the
problem of the reform of the higher education system - the cost-benefit analysis and the
legal scholarship description - have to be integrated. This is the argument of our paper
that the very integration of economic and legal approaches, what Warren Samuels called
the legal-economic nexus, is meaningful and necessary, especially if we want to address
the problem of order (as formulated by Joseph Spengler) and the overall regulation of the
system.
