This 21-chapter collection brings together economists and other business scholars from Europe, the US, and Mexico for discussion of European higher education convergence trends and the impact of economic development on the educational level of specific countries. They consider whether and to what extent factors like economic growth, national domestic product innovation, research-development levels, and economic openness influence the convergence process in education. Chapters discuss harmonization and convergence of educational policies in light of the Bologna Process, including academic research articles and their impact on educational policies' structure and application in universities, the intellectual capital of universities, the challenges of mobility and internationalization, the need for harmonization, the importance of self-evaluation and self-development of universities, the implementation of Bologna reforms, and the internationalization of business schools.
