Abstract
In general higher education in Central Europe, Poland included, is one of those
social areas that have been exposed to various reform attempts following the
collapse of communism in 1989. Reforms in the region throughout the two decades were intended, implicitly or explicitly, to bring Central European academics and students back into what was regarded to be the European higher education community of academics and students. Reform attempts were led by specific, regional post-communist concerns inspired by national higher education
developments observed in Western Europe. Clearly national and regional reference
points in reforms were accompanied by European reference points, especially when
the Bologna Process started at the turn of the century and when this European
intergovernmental initiative was used in national contexts in the region as a useful
justification for further reforms.
