In the global academic capitalist race, academics, institutions and countries’ symbolic power results from the accumulation of scientific capital. This paper relies on the perspectives of system actors located at the institutional, national and international levels to assess the perceived importance of eight systemic factors in contributing to the comparative advantage of social-democratic regimes, namely Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A deductive thematic analysis performed on 56 transcripts and a one-way repeated-measure ANOVA (and pairwise post-hoc t-tests) performed on 324 questionnaires confirmed the hypotheses regarding the positive influence of academic traditions and internationalization. This study contributes to the development of a varieties of academic capitalism (VoAC) approach to apprehend how political-economies condition higher education systems’ (HES) comparative advantage.

八个系统性因素对科学资本积累的感知影响

在全球学术资本主义竞赛中，学术、机构和国家的象征性权力源于科学资本的积累。本文依靠位于制度、国家和国际层面的系统参与者的观点来评估八个系统因素在促进社会民主政权的比较优势方面的感知重要性，即丹麦、芬兰、挪威和瑞典。对 56 份成绩单进行的演绎主题分析和对 324 份问卷进行的单向重复测量方差分析（和成对事后 t 检验）证实了关于学术传统和国际化积极影响的假设。
