Abstract
This chapter focuses on specific reforms in the German higher education system in recent years. These reforms are embedded in general societal developments that will also be explored. Furthermore, it is only possible to understand recent reforms in German higher education by adopting a broader perspective that also considers the key role of international reform developments. Although the development of a national higher education system like the German one has been characterized by multifaceted processes of interaction with other systems since as far back as the nineteenth century, these processes have accelerated rapidly in the last two to three decades. We argue that only by taking account of the latest wave of international reforms is it possible to understand the considerable reform efforts in the German higher education system.
