Academic freedom, institutional autonomy and the future of democracy
Sjur Bergan, Tony Gallagher, Ira Harkavy
Council of Europe
Livre numérique
Academic freedom and institutional autonomy are essential for universities to
produce the research and teaching necessary to improve society and the human
condition. Academic freedom and institutional autonomy are increasingly
important components of the development of democracy. At the same time, these
fundamental democratic values are subject to pressure in many countries. The
relationship between academic freedom, institutional autonomy and democracy is
fundamental: it is barely conceivable that they could exist in a society not
based on democratic principles, and democracy is enriched when higher
education institutions operate on this basis. Higher education institutions
need to be imbued with democratic culture and that, in turn, helps to promote
democratic values in the wider society. None of these issues are simple and
the lines between legitimacy and illegitimacy are sometimes hard to discern,
as is illustrated by perspectives from Europe, North America, Asia, Australia
and the Mediterranean region.
