Managerialism in Higher Education – The Case of Hungary and Eastern Europe

Summary/Abstract: Managerialism in higher education – as defined and described by Deem, Hillyard and Reed as early as 2007- spread through Europe during the 2000’s. Case studies (like Hedley’s on Irish universities) show similarities also with variations in UK universities. Managerialism penetrated the universities of Eastern Europe after the political upheavals of 1990, and studies of Hungarian universities show some characteristics of an “Eastern” European managerialism. Its features see: a) universities as “state-owned” enterprises, symbolising national identity; b) university ”managers” as representating the modernisation process - here enabling Hungary to “catch up” with Europe; and c) their ideology (managerialism) as a special mixture of “evidence -based” and the “interest-based” policy making.
