Education, Learning and Teaching, an Interdisciplinary Europeanization Neo-
Troika: Facilitating Cross Border and Transport Aspects of Travelling Europe
Abstract
This paper considers the challenge of equipping the populous with the necessary critical thinking skills to benefit from Europeanization.
The Shapley-Value decomposition technique lists education as an important factor in countries reducing inequality.i The knowledge-
generating neo-troika, consisting of education, learning and teaching, is critical in enabling people to make informed decisions. Educated
people are able to evaluate complex, theoretical, abstract ideas e.g. democratic participation, representation and neoliberalism. This paper
posits that Europeanization, including the interconnectedness of place and spatial awareness in travelling Europe and crossing borders, is
more effective with an educated population.ii
This paper seeks to provide a brief overview of epistemology and ontology,two concepts that have a significant e ffect when discussing
how social science research should be conducted. This paper considers the lives of people in relation to political, social, economic, cultural
and historical contexts.iii This paper will focus on how a researcher accurately measures and interprets the effect of education upon travelling
decisions and demonstrate numerous ways to assess the effect of education when travelling across Europe. Migrants, particularly in the
European CE4 countries Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Sovakia, travel to access resources such as safe and secure housing,food and
water, and utilities such as gas, electricity, coal and oil. Climate change, resource allocation and an ageing demography also impact the
Europeanization dynamic.iv The paper concludes by summarising the key role interdisciplinary neo-troika has in ensuring that all citizens
benefit from Europeanization.

Introduction
This paperis a theoretical review of how the educational, learning and teaching aspects ofEuropeanization, e.g. the knowledge generating
neo-troika, can inform and enhance the travelling decisions of citizens in European Union (EU) nations.v The term ‘neo-troika’ has been
employed in reference to three financial institutions that were used to intervene in various European countries,effectively fighting to stabilise
their financial affairs. Knowledge generating neo-troika has a similar role to that of the financial institutions, albeit operating at a less
pressurised and slower pace. It has the same level of importance in its remit of educating the European people. The financial institutions
‘troika’ consist of the European Commission (EC), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central Bank (ECB). This
paper is presented in four sections.The first section discusses some of the reasons why people travel cross-borders into and within European
Union (EU) countries. Section two critically evaluates some of the research techniques which could be employed to investigate the effect of
education on travel choices. The third section follows with a conceptual review of how epistemological and ontological choices can
significantly affect the final research methodological design. Section four theorises on various methodological problems whic h might be
encountered during a research inquiry into how education influences EU travel choice. This paper concludes with a critical summary which
provides education and transport policy suggestions and awareness ofhowbest to use transport options.European nations will become better
equipped to predict future transport demands when people are better educated, have increased mobility, and use the latest techn ological
advances to avoid areas most likely to be affected by climate change.The latter two aspects demonstrate urban planning an d spatialawareness
created by the knowledge generating neo-troika.vi
The Role of the Knowledge Generating Neo-troika
One of the main reasons why people travel throughout Europe is to find work.vii Changing patterns of trade act facilitate European Union
(EU) integration,viii with more “than 70% of the EU’s citizens live in urban areas”.ix Cities are centres of employment, leisure and tourism,
and therefore are often the final destination after the use of public or private transport.There is currently a knowledge gap regarding how the
choice of methods of transport, reason for travel and the choice of travel destination interact with each other when travelling Europe.x
Similarly, there needs to be a better understanding ofhow these decisions are impacted by the interdisciplinary Europeanization neo-troika.
This is especially important when EU consultation projects on transport initiatives take place, which will have an effect upo n climate change
and the environment.xi Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762) argued the merits of delivering equal development of cities as being instrumental in
enacting a form of social justice.xii A present day interpretation of this discourse might suggest that transport systems as part of urban
development should be egalitarian in nature, equal in how they will affect all people living in the city. The costs and benefits of lower
congestion and CO2 emissions, for example, should be shared by all.
The Europeanization neo-troika is a key component in equipping EU citizens with soft skills, such as problem solving, relationship
building and critical evaluation skills.xiii Educating EU citizens will increase the inclination toward environmentally sustainable transport
initiatives and reduce the pressure on naturalresources.xiv Energy and land-use,linked in with leisure and tourism, will be used more efficiently
and therefore stimulate employment and sustainable economic growth.xv Critical evaluation skills obtained from education, learning and
teaching will make a significant contribution to an EU citizen’s quality of life. Essentially, the Europeanization neo-troika will contribute to
‘a forward-looking vision on the socio-ecological transition towards a new model of urban development reinforcing EU cities as hubs of
innovation and centres of job creation’.xvi
Table 1 depicts how the knowledge transfer neo-troika interact with various socio-demographic factors for cross-border travel, both into
and between EU member states. The information here is used to assess past reasons for travelling and analysing the likelihood of future
changes due to increased education. The onset of information and communication technologies (ICT) is expected to reduce the number of
people travelling for work, as more people using tablets or handheld digital devices will be able to choose to work from home.xvii

Epistemology and objectivity in education and transport research
The OECD (2013), in their approach to measuring subjective wellbeing, provide one of numerous examples demonstrating the importance
of epistemology and ontology when embarking on a research inquiry: “Good mental states,including all the various evaluations,positive and
negative, that people make of their lives and the affective reactions of people to their experiences”.xviii It is evident that the researcher needs
to interpret individuals’ perceptions in relation to political, social, economic, cultural and historical domains.xix The OECD subjective
wellbeing methodology also highlights how a qualitative research design is much better equipped to accurately establish the reasons behind
travel choices.
The researcher’s epistemological and ontological position at the outset of research is crucial. Previously we have looked at the socio-
political-economic-cultural reasons behind travelling decisions in Europe. This approach uses underlying reasons similar to the Hanquinet
and Savage (2013) EUCROSS research project.xx Hanquinet and Savage consider mobility in physical cross-border practices, alongside
Europeanization and globalisation. The latter two words can be defined as “feeling European – feeling citizen of the world”.xxi The research
on this subject can be approached in terms of ‘informed mobility’, where the interconnectednes s of the four categories are central to
interpreting how mode of transport,choice of destination and reasons for travelling across Europe are influenced by the leve l of educational
attainment of the traveller. The work of Skelly (2013) also supports the criticality of socio-demography, ‘where networks and the fluidity of
our contemporary social circumstances are instead central’.xxii Such social circumstances include educational attainment. An epistemological
approach to measure individuals’ perception of the success ofa transport project would be supported by consideration of and feedback from
educated travellers. This would be an alternative epistemological approach to assessing how ‘European’ the traveller feels wh en crossing
borders.xxiii
An epistemological and ontological decision to interpret the reasons why people travel across Europe in terms of actual ‘mobility’ is
influenced by the mechanics of globalisation. Urry observes that there appears ‘to be different societies with their clustering of social
institutions, and with a clear and policed border surrounding each society as region’.xxiv The researcher could interpret this observation by
exchanging the term society with globe and the term region with Europe.xxv In essence,the researcherwould be producing a working definition
of globalisation, while focussing the research on travel throughout Europe.The qualitative aspects ofthe study,analysing t ravelling decisions
and including how they are affected by the traveller’s educational attainment, would still remain the primary objective of the research.
Methodological problems
Research into the effect of knowledge generating neo-troika on EU cross-borders travelchoices can be problematical. An essentialelement
of such a research investigation is location. The EU area is a very large area to travel through for work, leisure and/ortrade, in addition, the
EU constantly changes in size and shape geographically.There are candidate countries at various stages ofEU compliance, fulfilling Schengen
and ‘acquis communitaire’ requirements, waiting for EU accession. Romania and Bulgaria have recently had substantial trade restrictions
removed, being allowed entrance to all other EU member states from 1 January 2014.xxvi Different member states are at different stages of
the development cycle, measured under a working definition of the ability to provide their citizens with basic social goods s uch as education
and healthcare. This working definition could easily be reinterpreted in any number of ways, dependent upon the reader’s epistemological
and ontological view. For example, the percentage of citizens who make 50% or more of their cross -border tourism journeys using public
transportation could be affected by the particular geographical location one is travelling to or from, which might be acting to exclude other
forms of transport.Similarly, any of the variables present in Hanquinet and Savage’ (2013) EUCROSS methodology could be influenced by
the travellers’ original location. In addition the five generic domains discussed earlier are also influenced by location. If a person lives within
walking distance of work or university he or she has less need to use public transport, or to have access to a private vehicle.
Location is problematical because historically some EU member states have individually experienced incidents producing major structural
transformation within. These have been periods of civil war, e.g. Czech Republic and Slovakia,xxvii or the dissolution the Soviet Union, e.g.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.xxviii Here the physical geographical location of the member state has not changed. However, people’s
4. 4
perception, affinity, sense of identity and belonging and attitudes could have changed fundamentally, depending upon their historical
relationship to the location. Other countries have had substantialsocial unrest,such as Poland, which have had differing effects on the five
broad categories compared to other member states. Changes in demography, political economy and the adoption of (or failure to adopt)
technological changes can all fragment and change a location. In turn this will affect people’s perceptions of travel choices, particularly in
relation to their identity and the social reasons why they travelled. How people socially interact with their place and spatial surroundings are
substantially influenced by circumstances within their own location.
The issue of geographical size is also methodologically problematical, especially when researching the sociological reasons why people
are travelling from one region to another, within the same nation state. A region, district or neighbourhood within a city, or possibly a rural
area, can have its own morphological typology.xxix Other variables can influence mode of travel or travel destination,such as different spoken
languages.Depending upon the size of a geographical area studied or number of factors analysed, the researcher might have grea t difficulty
in establishing that the data collected is homogeneously representative of the area as a whole.xxx
From an interconnected place and spatial planning perspective it is important to have a picture of the existing infrastructure, such as the
location of public transport hubs.EU travelling behaviour research would benefit from information regarding the topographic nature of areas
being studied.xxxi This often requires access to historical maps, which visualise the areas’ social amenities such as shopping precincts,
workplaces, tourist locations and farmland. Maps that delineate how the character and nature of the area has changed over a period of time,
in turn influence people’s travel choices.xxxii For example, current farmland could have been the former site of a major factory, employing
lots of people at different income levels. Now this area only provides low-income casual employment for fruit picking farm workers. Martin
(2013) provides an apt narrative, describing where topographic, historical maps and education interact to inform European tra vel choices:
‘Finally there must be practical problems such as existence and availability of the necessary map data…Use of historic aerial photos is also
crucial to study the evolution of the chosen district’.xxxiii The people who once traveled into the area to work no longer do so. Workers who
have ‘informed mobility’, enabled by the knowledge generating neo-troika, will have asked for and read the maps of their local area. Such
people, on being informed by local map reading that their area has few employment opportunities or social amenities, may well make the
decision to commute to the larger cities or leave the area altogether.
Conclusion
To conclude, it is worth recalling the main reasons people choose to travel across borders in Europe. A substantialamount of EU travel
within and between countries is by people going to, from, or looking for work. Transport polices that can get people to work efficiently,
cheaply and reduce CO2 emissions would be beneficial to the whole of society.A major infrastructure programme of increased t ram provision
and EU railway network electrification would improve EU citizens transport choices.xxxiv Embarking on such projects would not be
prohibitively expensive. Social protection payments would be reduced as more people would be working, helping to modernise EU transport.
Public health would improve long term due to reduced respiratory diseases and cancer risk with fewer fossilised fuel emissions.xxxv Crime
rates would likely decrease with more people working. Studies have shown that the influx of a large employer into an area has a job creation
multiplier effect.xxxvi Here, a new employer moves into the area and starts employing local people. As a result other companies become
attracted to the area, employing more people and resulting in increased trading. A United States study found the multiplier, after a large
employer relocated, in the surrounding area, of between 1.6 for manufacturing and 4.9 for high technology jobs.xxxvii If this was replicated, a
transport infrastructure project employing a workforce of 1,000 people would produce another 1, 600 manufacturing jobs elsewh ere. In
addition, an employer, when employing 1,000 skilled workers, would also generate 4,900 high technology jobs elsewhere in the area. This
highlights the role of regeneration via employment generated by the need to travel for work, coupled with education’s vital role within that
process.
This paperhas demonstrated howthere are many numerous factors which influence travelling across Europe.The role ofeducation,learning
and teaching, is now established as being front and centre of improving how existing transport infrastructure is currently us ed.Furthermore,
the analysis detailed in this paper will inform European transport policy makers of the multidimensional reasons for travelling, for work,
education, healthcare and leisure. The five broad domains previously mentioned enabled critical analysis of which causal fact ors interacted,
shedding light on the most favourable conditions under which people would be motivated to choose to travel. Causal factors range from
accessibility to public transport, with rural communities not having social amenities or the likelihood of high income or job security. The
central theme that educationalattainment at the time one makes the decision to travel has substantialinfluence on when, whe re, howand why
they travel, has been demonstrated.Travellers and migrants who remember fleeing military incursion, food or fuel shortages,orthe perception
of state surveillance, are less likely to travel to certain countries, which for themmight evoke traumatic memories. Educated individuals, who
have been taught how to use the latest digital devices, are able to access current information on the internet about their cultural heritage and
assess ifa former home nation has culturally changed.Critical evaluation skills learnt while being educated will enhance ‘informed mobility’.
People will be able to make informed decisions about the likelihood of war returning, or having access to health and social care amenities in
certain areas, or feeling safe in terms of civil defence. Fundamental to having ‘informed mobility’ is enabling people to be sufficiently
educated to make transport decisions, regardless of which social issue motivates their reasons for travelling Europe.
