Skill Formation in Central and Eastern Europe

“Skill formation in Central and Eastern Europe. A search for patterns and direc­tions of deve­lo­p­ment” offers holistic ana­ly­ti­cal insight into skill formation processes and insti­tu­ti­ons in Central and Eastern European countries by referring to the timeframe of histo­ri­cal deve­lo­p­ment of skill formation from the fall of communism to the present time and future deve­lo­p­ment trends. Leading rese­ar­chers of skill formation from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine refer to critical junctures and the findings are compared and discussed in five con­clu­ding chapters focused on important cross-cutting topics: deve­lo­p­ment of social dialogue over skill formation, qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons policy and deve­lo­p­ment of qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons systems, impli­ca­ti­ons of European inte­gra­ti­on and EU policies for gover­nan­ce and insti­tu­tio­nal reform of skill formation, features and impli­ca­ti­ons of policy borrowing and policy learning from the Anglo-Saxon and German speaking countries, respectively.

Jörg Markowitsch was one of the editors of this publi­ca­ti­on and  together with Horacy Debowski author of the com­pa­ra­ti­ve chapter on “Education systems and qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons frameworks”.
