AbstractThis article looks at increased European co‐operation in higher education, taking as its main case study the proposal for universities to adopt a common core curriculum for European studies. The article situates higher education co‐operation in the context of political and economic imperatives promoting 'ever closer union' and highlights immanent dangers for academic goals. However, it also identifies the scale of European co‐operation as an opportunity for national higher education actors to resist together what they may be unable to resist alone: namely, greater economic and political intrusion into academic life. Long term, this may prove crucial to the vitality of the European integration process.
