Title Inspired by the British experience? The opposition to the Albanian higher education policy of 2014
Summary In 2013, the newly elected Albanian government initiated a series of reforms. Amongst them, a reform on the Albanian higher education system transformed into a controversial and sensitive debate, contested by a number of actors. The inspiration of this project was the “British/English Model” and the intense protests that ensued. The goal of this thesis is to understand and analyze the transfer of some British elements into the new Albanian higher education policy. Additionally, it looks at why this policy encountered opposition. In order to do this, policy transfer literature is reviewed with focus on the Dolowitz and Marsh framework. This thesis applies their framework in its analysis. It argues that there was opposition against the new higher education policy, because the process was considered uninformed, incomplete and mostly inappropriate.
