Summary
"New strategies and policies regarding higher education are needed to solve the present higher education crisis occurring in many developing countries. The important question is whether specific forms of government regulation are more effective than others in helping to solve this crisis. This title analyzes the relationships between government and higher education in a number of developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and explores the recent changes in these relationships in an attempt to find out which are the most likely to solve the present crisis in higher education in developing countries. Case studies of specific countries are presented, exploring issues such as the market as a mechanism for coordination, autonomy in higher education, state control and supervision, governmental steering models, the question of 'governance fit' and innovations in higher education. The concluding chapter combines theoretical concepts with the observations recounted in the country case studies to formulate overall conclusions." "This title will be of particular interest to administrators, researchers, policy makers and students in the fields of higher education and comparative and international education."--BOOK JACKET.
