The communicative system of science: recognition, the Matthew-effect, and Gresham’s law
Abstract
This study identifies the causes leading to the failure of the institutional changes initially pursued by the framework law for the universities. The failure of the modernizing aim of this law is due to the lax regulations of the internal functions of the universities and the unspecified capabilities of the university organs. This fact allowed the staff of the universities to establish distributive coalitions, which soon placed the administrations and the decision-making organs of the universities under their control, in order to influence their internal functions towards the accommodation of the interests of their members. This negative situation can be overcome by way of a radical change of the institutional framework aiming at the opening of Greek universities to the international development of knowledge society.
