GOVERNANCE OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: PROBLEMS AND APPROACHES TO SOLUTIONS

Summary/Abstract: This paper is inspired by actual dynamics in higher education and by three global trends in higher education policy: the changing relationship between governments and higher education institutions, mostly in terms of encouraging a greater degree of self-regulation of higher education institutions; endeavours for improving the quality of higher education followed by introducing national quality assurance systems into higher education policy and changing conceptions of governance of higher education institutions as a result of new external and internal demands on higher education. The purpose of this paper is to provide the theoretical background needed for understanding dynamics and developments in higher education policy, derived from the recent organisational theories and research on higher education policy, with special emphasis on the relationship between higher education institutions and demands from their external environment.
