The Research Foundations of Graduate Education: Germany, Britain, France, United States, Japan, edited by Burton R. Clark, provides a comparative portrait of how five leading national systems connect research with advanced study. The essays examine both the broad organization of higher education and the day-to-day practices of graduate training, tracing how historical traditions, state policy, and disciplinary structures shape the education of researchers. Germany’s Humboldtian model of uniting teaching and inquiry, Britain’s increasingly centralized system, France’s separation of teaching and research through institutions like the CNRS, the decentralized but highly competitive American research university, and Japan’s postwar system with its distinctive emphasis on engineering are each analyzed in depth. Complementing these national portraits are microstudies in physics, economics, history, and other fields that reveal how faculty and students negotiate research training within universities and laboratories.
Together these accounts highlight both striking differences and emerging commonalities across countries. They show how graduate education reflects larger concerns about scientific capacity, economic development, and government policy, while also demonstrating the importance of local practices in laboratories, seminars, and departments. By comparing national traditions and contemporary reforms, The Research Foundations of Graduate Education illuminates the fragile but vital nexus of research, teaching, and study at the graduate level. It remains an essential resource for scholars of higher education, policymakers, and anyone concerned with how modern societies sustain universities as centers of knowledge production and prepare new generations of researchers.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
