大多数欧洲国家都引入了系统的质量保证，作为旨在增强大学自主权的全面治理改革的一部分。然而，研究人员和经济企业家在考虑质量保证对大学和/或整个经济体系的经济竞争力的贡献时，往往低估了认证和评估的政治层面。我打算通过1)分析质量保证的提供如何受到现有体制设置的制约，以及2)研究这种制约对国内和国际质量保证机构市场的构成的影响，来阐明质量保证的这一方面。首先，我评论了由相互竞争的质量保证机构组成的德国市场出现的政治利害关系，然后强调了在创建一个由质量保证机构组成的欧洲市场方面，国家政治的不可削减的维度。
Most European countries have introduced systematic quality assurance as part of an overall governance reform aimed at enhancing universities’ autonomy. Researchers and economic entrepreneurs tend, however, to underestimate the political dimension of accreditation and evaluation when they consider the contribution of quality assurance to the economic competitiveness of universities and/or the economic system as a whole. I intend to shed light on this aspect of quality assurance by 1) analysing how the provision of quality assurance is constrained by the institutional setting in place, and 2) studying the implications of that constraint on the constitution of a national and international market of quality assurance agencies. I begin the analysis by commenting on the political stake in the emergence of a German market of competing quality assurance agencies, then highlight the irreducible dimension of national politics in creating a European market of quality assurance agencies.
