520 |a For the last twenty years gender equality has been on the agenda of national higher education policies both within Europe and beyond it. Previous research in this area has produced numerous case studies about programmes at institutions of higher education as well as reports about national policies. Building on this material, the authors of this book analyse under which circumstances equality programmes are successful.
