“…Such strategies seem to have an effect. Bloch et al (2014) convincingly connected the employment of internationalization-related selfdescriptions of private HE institutions to stratification in the HE sector. Brandenburg & Knothe (2008) estimated that 46 percent of their sample of HE institutions had an internationalization strategy with a measurement catalog.…”

“…EMI as symbolic capital must be viewed in the context of attitudes toward English and internationalization. In Germany, EMI can positively affect stude ts' hoi e of selected HE institutions, and international CVs of lecturers are viewed as prestigious (Bloch et al 2014). Hilgendorf has narrated examples of »accommodating, even deferential« attitudes toward English in German everyday life encounters (Hilgendorf 2007: 141).…”

The internationalization of higher education (HE) is developing rapidly, and a large number of publications have emphasized the importance of this process (Ennew/Greenaway 2012; Maringe/Foskett 2013; Maassen/Uppstrøm 2004). With respect to HE, the OECD defines internationalization as »the integration of an international/intercultural dimension into all the activities of a university, including teaching, research and service functions« (OECD 1999). Whereas Kreber (2009) calls attention to the connotation of internationalization that is linked to economic pressure, others similarly link internationalization to new public management (de Haan 2014; Kristensen et al. 2011;Lueg 2014). Since the Bologna process, in particular, European governments have urged universities to establish internationalization strategies and have indicated that developing such strategies is a »requirement for modern academia« (BMBF 2014). Researchers have investigated many aspects of internationalization, including cooperation and mobility, in particular (Aba 2013;Aittola et al. 2009;Berchem 1991;Kim 2009). Another key consequence of internationalization processes in HE is the rise of English as the language of HE (LHE) (Ammon/McConnell 2002) and, more specifically, the rise of English as the medium of instruction (EMI) in HE (de Haan 2014; Lueg/Lueg 2015). EMI is on the rise in most European countries and is strongly advocated by many governments. Research on implementing EMI in internationalization processes ties in with research on education and social stratification and inequality. Critical

“…Historically a relatively 'flat' higher education system in that German research universities were of comparable quality, these institutions are now being intentionally differentiated under the auspices of the German Excellence Initiative, into which billions of Euro continue to be invested in order to facilitate increased competition in terms of admissions, faculty recruitment, and publicprivate collaboration (Bloch et al, 2014;Wolter, 2017). There is concern that the robust support of more 'prestigious' institutions will result in access and equity issues becoming even more urgent (Hüther & Krücken, 2018).…”

This article focuses on the public German higher education sector as a site upon and through which coloniality is enacted. This status quo indicates exclusionary effects and merits interrogation. We briefly discuss the history of German colonialism to understand how coloniality pervades higher educational structures in the German context today. Two proposals addressing coloniality in German higher education are made: the development of structures centering diverse faculty and the support of ethnic and identity studies.

“…In addition to the study by Mittermaier ( 2011 ), it was possible to research only two further studies on the Excellence Initiative in the Web of Science (WoS, Thomson Reuters) literature database: Kegen ( 2015 ) evaluated network data of female and male investigators of two research institutions in the Excellence Initiative. Using case studies in the field of graduate schools funded by the Excellence Initiative, Bloch et al ( 2014 ) investigated stratificatory efforts that are connected to education at universities.…”

Is the promotion of research reflected in bibliometric data? A network analysis of highly cited papers on the Clusters of Excellence supported under the Excellence Initiative in Germany

Under the Excellence Initiative, a number of Clusters of Excellence in Germany have been supported since 2006 and 2007—including each a limited number of cooperating institutions. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether support for Clusters of Excellence since 2006 and 2007 is reflected in bibliometric network data. For this purpose, a comparison is made between network data in the period before support started (2003–2005) and in the period after support started (2009–2011). For these two periods, a co-authorship network is generated (based on the funded institutions). This is based on publications which are among the 1 % most frequently cited publications in their respective fields and publication year and which have at least one author from Germany. As the results show, the outcomes this yields for life sciences and natural sciences differ from each other. Whereas natural sciences display an effect of establishment of Clusters of Excellence on the bibliometric networks, this was not true of life sciences. After establishment of the Clusters of Excellence, the network in natural sciences not only contained more institutions of a Cluster of Excellence, but these institutions were distributed across fewer bibliometric clusters in the network than before establishment. In other words the structure of the Clusters of Excellence was better reflected in the network.
