The recent developments in Nordic higher education policy are closely linked with global
tendencies, which are in turn reacted to at national and local levels. The financial crisis,
massification of higher education, and the attachment to transnational, mainly European
policies have set the background for new tendencies in education governance. New
governance patterns are the outcome of transnational pressures, which are domesticated
at the national level. Thus, these transnational tendencies are (re‐)constructed for different
transnational, national and local purposes. This thematic issue analyses how the Nordic
countries have reacted to these tendencies, tensions and possibilities.
