"This book about higher education policymaking networks operating in and between Finland and the European Union is a wonderful read from beginning to end. It provides a refreshing approach to the complex relations between knowledge, power and networks, making a compelling case to study policy making from a relational perspective. Furthermore, the book advances research in education policy through a series of insightful methodological moves that should be key for anyone studying policy networks in the future."-- Jason Beech, Associate Professor of Global Policies in Education, University of Melbourne, Australia"This is an exciting book about higher education policy and knowledge networks in the European Union (EU) and in one member state, Finland. Based on extensive and solid empirical research, the volume brings new insights about how policy making works in “in-between networks” in a policy field where EU competencies are vague and which, as a result, has been too little studied to date. The chapters generate novel findings both at the EU level and in a national context, Finland, as well as the interplay and interactions between them. The research is based on solid theoretical and conceptual work on knowledge, power and networks, approached through a perspective that combines discursive, institutional and everyday analyses. The volume is highly recommendable to all scholars and students of European integration in general and higher education policy in particular."-- Johanna Kantola, Professor of European Societies and their Politics, Centre for European Studies (CES), University of Helsinki, Finland"This book is an original, empirical, and innovative study of the networks of power and knowledge that structure higher education in Finland and Europe. Based on a mixed and demanding methodology, it reveals the unsuspected institutional and epistemic relationships of this brokering activity beyond classic policy-making analyses."-- Romuald Normand, Professor of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Strasbourg, France
