Knowledge policies are at the forefront of contemporary global politics and are seen as the foundation on which societies coalesce and economies thrive. This section builds on the previous four sections on the Europe of Knowledge and invites contributions from around the world to consider the various dimensions of knowledge policy development. Specifically, we are interested in theoretical, empirical, and comparative contributions that investigate the role of the ‘four I’s’ – ideas, interests, instruments and institutions – in the global, multi-level, multi-issue, and multi-actor governance of knowledge policies, including failures and successes. By ‘role’, we refer to effects that ideas, actors (individual, organisational), policy instruments/mixes, and institutions have had on the governance of knowledge policies, and vice-versa. We focus on ‘roles’ to enable a multidisciplinary discussion on whether these factors share defining characteristics across different knowledge policy domains (i.e. research, higher education, and innovation), and between distinct governance levels and geographical regions. This section continues to welcome scholars from all theoretical and methodological approaches to critically discuss the reconfiguration of knowledge systems around the world.

Behandelt werden insgesamt acht verschiedene Panels:

1. Applying complex systems theory to higher education and research policy
2. Researching the governance of knowledge policies: methodological and conceptual challenges 
3. Knowledge policies in cross-sectoral comparison
4. Market-making of, in, and around European higher education
5. Transnational actors in higher education, research, and innovation
6. The politicisation of knowledge policies: actors in national arenas
7. Politics of access in higher education systems 
8. Policy failures in the knowledge domain
