– the changing nature of the state in a historical comparative perspective, and the new and fast moving dynamics of its relationship with higher education;
– governmental policies on higher education, and their economic and political rationales, in comparative perspective;
– the forms, effects (and limits) of market-reform policies and the government interventions;
– the economic and social outcomes of higher education and their measurement;
