Abstract: | It is argued that in moving from being self governed (here as: gvd.) to being state gvd., the higher education (here as: h-e.) policy drivers are no longer those of the system itself but are derived from a set of policies designed for the reform and modernization of the public sector. Hence, the formation of h-e. policy needs to be reinterpreted as an adjunct of public policy, rather than as something intrinsic to h-e. The impact of 'new public management' approaches and of political interventions are explored in describing the consequences of the centralization of the management of the public services and of h-e. becoming a national politics issue. |
