“…Finally, students with an international education experience have a broader knowledge of world history and geography, and the global aspects of health care, climate change, economics, politics, international relations, and other issues. In the same vein, Brennan et al (2007) argue that successful research has always had an international element, which favors the internationalization of higher education since higher educational institutions serve as large research centers.…”

The spread and influence of older European higher education models and the current Bologna Process (BP) is strongly linked to its colonial and neocolonial hegemony. However, the 1999 convergence of European models under the umbrella of the BP reform has had implications beyond the colonial and neocolonial spheres, with its effects impacting even the well-established and reputable education systems of North America. Unlike the countries of Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia Pacific, and the United States did not have any reasons to embrace the BP models. However, they are indirectly affected by it. The international nature of academe, characterized by cooperation and exchanges, has made it impossible for United States tertiary education systems to avoid the effects of the European BP reform entirely. Student and faculty mobility, transferability of degrees, and joint and dual degree offerings have increased significantly as a result of the “external dimension” objectives of the Bologna reform. The highly globalized higher education market is characterized by partnerships and exchanges, including competition between European and the United States colleges and universities over international students. The BP ultimately has and will likely continue to influence the calculations of higher education stakeholders in the United States.

“…While an academic elite may be able to engage in symbolic compliance, resistance and buffering, a growing number of academics, particularly those who are younger, is likely to be perceived as exchangeable and disposable. They are likely to face work intensification, lack of autonomy and increased insecurity (Brennan et al, 2017).…”

Contemporary education reform worldwide appears to be locked in a competition fetish. This article explores the varieties of competition, including traditional academic forms, contests sponsored by governments and international organisations, market competition and status wars intensified by rankings. Resisting interpretations of competition as naturally occurring, it presents various macro and micro actors, referred to as ‘shamans’, that breathe life into the phenomenon and that are responsible for its generation, constitution and reproduction. These include structural drivers associated with political and regulatory regimes; and symbolic drivers constituted by normative and affective pressures. The article focuses on the extent to which the varieties of competition reinforce, displace, mediate or counteract one another and reveals how powerful policy and symbolic drivers interact to power competition, and how competition forecloses alternative means of educational reform. The unintended consequences of competition on social equity, on academic work and on global well-being are highlighted, and suggestions are offered on ways to escape the competition trap.

La precariedad, la incertidumbre y la inestabilidad, junto con el individualismo, la competencia y el emprendimiento son partes constitutivas del oficio académico en la universidad contemporánea. A partir del análisis discursivo de 70 entrevistas realizadas a académicos y académicas en distintas condiciones laborales, el estudio aborda los matices y formas de resistencia en el escenario laboral universitario. Los resultados dan cuenta de experiencias de malestar asociadas al riesgo de quedar fuera de la carrera académica, que coexisten con formas creativas y colectivas para generar estabilidad en las trayectorias, contribuyendo a visibilizar las distintas expresiones de la precariedad en la universidad.
