The Quality of Democracy as a (Forgotten) Strategic Aim of the Bologna Process

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to highlight the dangerous domination of economy-oriented discourse in contemporary analysis on the role of tertiary education in Europe. As a consequence of this domination, the Author discusses the attempt to relegate all tertiary education to the area of professional education and pass over the role of knowledge in the democratic processes in silence. In contrast with this one-sidedness, The Bologna Declaration recognizes the role of education in stabilizing European democracy as very important. The Author calls for restoration of the balance in academic and political reflection on the role of tertiary education and of knowledge in overcoming the social tensions connected with prejudice, stereotypes and xenophobic attitudes.
