In the case of Greece, in particular, this phenomenon is closely linked to the financial, fiscal and debt crisis creating extremely negative conditions and prospects for the Greek economy and society. This chapter highlights key issues of the current situation in the field of unemployment and especially youth unemployment in Greece, drawing the image of reality on vocational education and training (initial and continuing). It also shows the diachronic ineffectiveness of policies concerning educational and vocational training in Greece. Finally, the chapter proposes the context of a critical and institutional framework for the development of a realistic policy for vocational training and education and social cohesion in times of crisis.

]]> Higher educational policy, interest politics and crisis management: Facets and aspects of the Greek case within the EHEA https://toarcheio.org/items/higher-educational-policy-interest-politics-and-crisis-management-facets-and-aspects-of-the-greek-case-within-the-ehea/ Tue, 16 Apr 2019 22:25:14 +0000 http://arc.local/items/higher-educational-policy-interest-politics-and-crisis-management-facets-and-aspects-of-the-greek-case-within-the-ehea/ Continued]]> With this paper we approach the new policy making paradigm for Europe’s higher education policy, set with the Bologna Process, given emphasis to the legitimacy deficit of this political venture and the necessity of a crisis management over the implementation phase within national frames. The implementation of the Bologna’s policies, using Greece as a case study, reveals a crisis management reality, originating from an understanding of the Bologna Process as a top dawn initiative by the academic community, and so on society, while also the legitimization basis of this venture is considered flimsy and the role of the European leveled interest groups in question. The conditions of the Bologna’s implementation and the crisis management outcome reflect the type of Europeanization occurring on the field of higher education in the Greek case and possibly in other national frames.
