Abstract Regional networking of institutions is hitherto primarily the topic of ideographic-descriptive area studies. This article gives a quantitative input to the controversy on regionalization by building an index of regional networking of higher education institutions. The index helps to evaluate the importance and effects of regional political organizations and the regional policy of the European Union. In addition, the index could help to analyze regional convergence and diffusion. The index consists of different elements of higher education teaching and research. Using the index for the higher education institutions in the Baltic Sea region shows different patterns of regional networking. | ||
