Abstract

Can governments trust the universities to be ‘market responsive’? What changes in the relationship between government and higher education are emerging in Europe? In what way do they differ from the assumptions which until recently underpinned similar policy in Britain? Different political values lead to different arrangements. This article examines some of the contemporary issues posed by strengthening of mechanisms of accountability and the implications their reinforcement has for participation in institutional decision making. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
